Does Patient Age Impact In-Office Tooth Bleaching Outcomes? A Parallel Clinical Trial
Patient age influenced in-office bleaching outcomes. Both age groups reported esthetic satisfaction, but early adulthood subjects (18-25 years) experienced a more substantial whitening effect, greater dentin sensitivity, and higher psychological impact. Conversely, middle-aged subjects (40-65 years) had a better overall perception of the psychosocial impact of dental esthetics.
