A INFLUÊNCIA DA INGESTÃO DE CORANTES DURANTE E APÓS O CLAREAMENTO DENTAL: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA.

Introduction: Tooth whitening is one of the most widely performed aesthetic procedures in the world. To ensure its stability and longevity, many authors advocate establishing a white diet during and right after treatment. Objective: To carry out a bibliographic review about the influence of dye ingestion related to the teeth color stability during and after tooth whitening. Material and Methods: A literature review of the studies published in the last 16 years (2003-2019) was carried out by a search on the databases: PubMed / Medline, Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library), and Google Scholar. For the search, the following descriptors were used: tooth whitening, tooth staining, and dye diet. After careful filtering, 27 articles and 1 book were selected to be included in the study. Results: The white diet is often indicated during and shortly after whitening treatment due to the susceptibility of staining the tooth structure caused by the superficial and transient demineralization of the whitening gels, which makes the pigments from the diet easily incorporated into the tooth structure. Conclusion: There is no sufficient evidence in the literature to indicate that dye ingestion during and after whitening treatment compromise the color stability of the tooth structure.
