APPENDIX :
Every dental practice that uses the professional whitening system must adopt an
operating protocol that is suitable for guaranteeing a safe, satisfactory, controlled
result.
INFORMATION FOR THE CUSTOMER
‐ Presentation of the technique, procedures, results and all other operating and
behaviour aspects that the technique requires.
‐ Possible supply of informative material (WHITENING SPECIAL).
It should be mentioned that the result is subjective and can vary from patient to
patient for obvious physiological and morphological reasons.
DIAGNOSIS AND MEDICAL AND DENTAL HISTORY
The dentist carries out an examination and a medical‐dental assessment to assess
the feasibility of the treatment and the presence of possible contraindications.
BEGINNING OF TREATMENT:
PREPARATION OF THE PATIENT
1. Clean the teeth properly with a preventive treatment.
Wash the teeth using the syringe water, and then dry them with the syringe air.
Apply Vaseline or suntan cream to the lips, and then apply the supplied mouth
opener that is designed to keep the patient's tongue lowered so it cannot
accidentally come into contact with the whitening gel.
2. Precisely apply the supplied photopolymerizing liquid dam (LIQUIDMASK) to
the gums and mucous membranes. This is to isolate the mucous membranes and
prevent the whitening gel from coming into contact with the gum flaps.
