ObjectiveThis controlled randomized clinical trial determined the whitening efficacy and the intensity and absolute risk of tooth sensitivity in dual whitening when prefilled at‐home whitening trays were used between in‐office whitening intervals.Materials and MethodsAn in‐office whitening agent containing 35% hydrogen peroxide was used. A prefilled tray with a whitening agent containing 6% hydrogen peroxide was used for at‐home whitening. Sixty‐six subjects were randomly assigned to three groups. Group I: at‐home whitening was performed 10 times between the in‐office whitening treatments. Group II: at‐home whitening was performed five times between the in‐office whitening treatments. Group III: only in‐office whitening was performed. The tooth color changes were evaluated using a spectrophotometer. A visual analog scale was used to express the pain intensity.ResultsAll the groups showed increased ΔE*ab, ΔE00, and ΔWIDwith increased whitening sessions. Group I at the 3rd whitening session showed significantly higher ΔE*ab, ΔE00, and ΔWIDthan group III. Tooth sensitivity showed higher values up to 24 h after whitening.ConclusionsAlthough dual whitening with the prefilled tray and in‐office whitening had higher whitening ability than in‐office whitening alone, the intensity and absolute risk of tooth sensitivity was similar.Clinical RelevanceThe dual whitening might produce faster and stronger whitening effects than in‐office whitening alone.
