RESUMO
Background: Failures in glass fiber post (GFP) retention may be associated with low adhesion achieved in root dentin. Material and Methods: 55 single-rooted premolars were endodontically treated and distributed according to different adhesion strategies (n=11): G1: RelyX ARC (3M ESPE; etch-rinse strategy); G2: Relyx Ultimate (3M ESPE; etch-rinse strategy); G3: AllCem (FGM; etch-rinse strategy); G4: Relyx Ultimate (3M ESPE; self-etching strategy); G5: RelyX U200 (3M ESPE; self-adhesive strategy). For Bonding Strength (BS) analysis, the roots were sectioned in slices (1.0mm thickness) corresponding to each root third and submitted to push-out test. The type of failure was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: The highest BS averages were found in G2 and G3. However, in the middle and apical root thirds, G3 showed statistically similar results to G4 and G5. In the cervical and middle third, G1 was statistically similar to G4 and G5. The mixed type of failure was the most common in all groups. Conclusions: Self-etching (G4) and self-adhesive resin (G5) cements, showed similar BS results of immediate bonding in the cementation of GFP compared to conventional resin cements (G1, G2, G3).

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The color stability of the composite resin is an important property that influences its clinical longevity, which remains an inherent challenge to the material. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the color stability of bulk-fill resins when exposed to dye. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cavities were prepared in 80 bovine incisors, which were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n = 20) according with the resin composite used: P60 (Control Group - Filtek P60, 3M/ESPE), FP (Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior, 3M/ESPE), SDR (SDR, Dentsply) and FF (Filtek Bulk Fill Flow, 3M/ESPE). All restorations were performed according to the protocol of each manufacturer, the control group was restored using the incremental technique, and the other groups using single-increment technique. The color of each restoration was measured using a portable digital spectrophotometer (Easyshade-Vita) according to the CIELab system, and then the teeth were submerged in red wine for 07 days, kept in a biological oven at 37ºC. New color registration was performed to measure the ΔE index of color variation. RESULTS: The P60 group had the lowest average ΔE (16.96), while the FF group had the highest average (28.09) and ranged from 21.19 to 26.28 in the FP and SDR groups. CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of the color variation showed that the control group had better color stability than the Bulk-Fill resins evaluated.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Additional heat polymerization in composite resins allows greater effective-ness of microhardness, flexural strength, fracture tough-ness, wear resistance, and increased color stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 150 composite resin specimens were made using a 4 mm diameter and 2 mm thick bipartite steel matrix. Five resins composed of different compositions were tested (Brilliant Everglow/Coltene, Filtek One BulkFill/3M, Filtek P60/3M, Filtek Z350XT/3M, Filtek Z250XT/3M), and for each of them three types of polymerization were tested: light curing only (n=50); photopolymerization + autoclave thermopolymerization (n=50) and photopolymerization + microwave thermopolymerization (n=50). Each specimen was submitted to three indentations by means of the Vickers microhardness test, applying a load of 300gf, associated with the time of 15s. Data were analyzed descriptively by means of statistics, standard deviation and coefficient of variation and inferentially by the F test (ANOVA) in the comparison between groups. The margin of error used in statistical test decisions was 5%. RESULTS: The highest vicker microhardness averages were from the Control group (light curing only) on P60 (82.16) and Z250 XT (79.61) resins. The lowest averages were all verified on Brilliant Everglow resin in all polymerization methods studied: Photopolymerization (37.32), with microwave (43.80) and autoclave (45.12), followed by Bulk Fill 3M resin, ranged from 52.23 to 59.15. CONCLUSIONS: Both autoclave and microwave thermopolymerization methods showed similar behavior on the microhardness of the composites studied. Considering the resin type, there was a varied behavior compared to thermopolymerization, which increased the microhardness values for Brilliant Everglow resins (Coltene) and Filtek One Bulkfill (3M) and decreased for Filtek P60, Filtek Z350XT and Filtek Z250XT resins.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This study compared the quality of marginal sealing in the gingival wall of class II preparations of two low-shirinkage resins of the bulk fill type with a conventional resin isolated or associated with a glass ionomer cement (GIC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: 40 human molars were divided into 4 groups and 80 occlusal-mesial and occlusal-distal restorations were performed with the following materials: SureFil SDR flow, Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior, Z250 resins and Riva Light Cure GIC. 40 restorations were evaluated in Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Elemental Microanalysis Spectrometry (EDS) initially and the remainder after a period of 6 months of aging in a 37 ± 5°C oven. An average of the silver penetration at each restoration was obtained in the two evaluations and the results were statistically analyzed in a descriptive and inferential way, through the paired t-Student and one-way ANOVA F-test. RESULTS: There were no significant statistical differences between the materials with respect to silver nanoinfiltration, except for the Bulk Fill Posterior/3M ESPE resin compared to the GIC and conventional resin in the final evaluation. CONCLUSIONS: The low shrinkage resins showed a similar behavior in relation to the marginal sealing quality observed in the GIC or composite resin with the incremental technique, also presenting the advantage of simplicity in the technique of confection of the restorations and reduction of the time of work. Key words:Resin composites, Bulk fill, dental restorations, marginal quality, adhesion.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Employing violet LED on tooth bleaching is a recent but promising technique. This study aimed to assess the bleaching effectiveness of violet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) associated or not with bleaching gels containing hydrogen peroxide (HP) or carbamide peroxide (CP). METHODS: seventy bovine incisors were randomly assigned into 7 groups (n = 10) according to the technique and whitening product used. Group C: Artificial saliva (placebo); Group HP L-: three sessions of HP at 35 % without light activation; Group CP L-: three weeks of CP at 16 % for 4 h/day; Group HP CP L-: three sessions of HP at 35 % without light activation + 2 weeks of CP at 16 %, for 4 h/day; Group LED: four sessions with violet LED; Group HP L+: three sessions with HP at 35 % + violet LED; Group CP L+: three weeks with CP at 16 % for 4 h/day + violet LED. Color changes (ΔE and ΔL) were measured with a portable digital spectrophotometer. RESULTS: The results were similar between the groups of bleaching protocols, demonstrating that the use of the violet LED did not influence bleaching effectiveness when using HP 35 % or CP 16 % after 3 sessions. In addition, the use of the violet LED alone obtained ΔE values ââsimilar to the protocols with the use of peroxides, however less variation of ΔL was observed for this group. CONCLUSIONS: The use of violet LEDs associated or not with bleaching gels was effective for tooth whitening. In addition, it was also concluded that the physical lightening technique with violet LED used alone produced less variation in dental brightness.

BACKGROUND: After dental bleaching procedures dentists commonly advise patients to reduce the consumption of beverages that may cause the teeth to stain, however, the effectiveness of teeth whitening may not be directly affected by diet. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It was evaluated through in vitro study whether contact with dyes through in-office bleaching sessions with 35% hydrogen peroxide would influence the effectiveness of treatment. Sixty bovine incisors were randomly assigned into 5 groups (n = 12) according to contact frequency and type of dye solutions. All dental elements received three in-office bleaching sessions with 35% hydrogen peroxide one week apart. Except for GCTRL (control), all experimental groups were submerged in dyes (coffee or wine) for 5 min once a day. In groups GC24 and GW24 contact with the dyes was made from 24 hours after each bleaching session, while in groups GC72 and GW72, from 72 hours. The color was measured with a digital spectrophotometer. Data were expressed as statistics: mean and standard deviation. RESULTS: Contact with dyes during in-office bleaching treatment with 35% hydrogen peroxide did not influence the staining averages after three bleaching sessions. The speed of the whitening effect was influenced by contact with coffee from 24 hours after the sessions and with wine from 24 hours and 72 hours after the whitening session. The whitening result was reversed after one week for all groups, especially for groups that came in contact with red wine either 24 hours or 72 hours after session and coffee after 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS: Contact with dyes during in-office bleaching treatment did not influence the final staining averages after three bleaching sessions although there was influence on speed of the whitening effect between the sessions. Key words:Tooth bleaching, hydrogen peroxide, spectrophotometry.
RESUMO
The available methods for veneer evaluation are limited to clinical and radiographic examinations, which may not allow the appropriate identification of failure. In this report, we demonstrate the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a noninvasive diagnostic and follow-up method to evaluate gingival recovery and the adhesive interface in aesthetic oral rehabilitation involving periodontal plastic surgery and ceramic laminate veneers. OCT was efficient for evaluating both soft and hard tissues, as well as the quality of the adhesive interface. In conclusion, OCT was found to be a promising approach for the professional evaluation of aesthetic oral rehabilitation, as it was capable of generating images that enabled the analysis of gingival recovery and the adhesive interface.
RESUMO
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune intra-epithelial dermatologic disease that is characterized by epithelial blistering and affected cutaneous and/or mucosal surfaces. The disease is caused by circulating immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies directed against desmosomes. These antibodies interfere with keratinocyte adhesion, causing acantholysis, which results in blister formation. At present, death from pemphigus infection is unusual; however, morbidity and mortality from chronic corticosteroid use remain considerable, indicating a need for additional therapies. This article presents a case of PV in a female patient that was treated with conventional corticosteroid therapy and discusses recent adjuvant therapy.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the self-reported need of patients compared to professional indications for tooth whitening. Material and Methods: Initially, 58 undergraduate students responded to a form that highlighted the question: "Do you think you need to have your teeth whitened?" Among those who answered positively to the previous question, ten individuals were photographed with their smiles. In addition, they were asked to point out, on the Vita 3D-Master scale, which color they believed their teeth had, a value that was compared to the actual color obtained by a spectrophotometer. Finally, the photographs were presented to dentists, who were asked about the indication or not of the whitening treatment. Results: Most interviewees (63.8%) self-reported the need for whitening, as well as there was a greater incidence of a positive indication among professionals (53.9%). Pearson's Chi-square test revealed a relationship between patient gender and the training course on the desire to have teeth whitened. Among the professionals, the specialty, as well as time since graduation, interfered in the indication for whitening. Conclusion: Professionals and patients share the aesthetic ideal directly related to light teeth; most patients self-perceive the color of their teeth darker than it actually is; the opinion about the color of the teeth has an extremely subjective character and varies greatly from one professional to another (AU).

Aim This study aimed to analyze the influence of finishing and polishing (F/P) protocols on resin surface through roughness (Ra) values and laser scan microscopy observations. Methods Forty-eight (n=48) resin specimens were sorted into four groups (n=12), according to the type of resin used: Filtek Z250 (Z250), Filtek Z350 (Z350), Filtek One Bulk Fill (BF), Filtek P60 (P60). The specimens were sorted into six groups according to the type of F/P system used (n=2/group): Control group, Diamond bur (KG Sorensen), Soflex Pop-On Discs (3M ESPE), Soflex Spiral (3M ESPE), Dura Gloss (American Burs), and Praxis (TDV). Results The highest roughness values (Ra) were attributed to BF group for all F/P systems, except for the Soft-Lex PopOn discs. The Soft-Lex PopOn, Spiral, and Praxis discs presented a better performance for the surface treatment of the tested composite resins. Regardless of the restorative material, the use of diamond bur or single-step abrasive rubber (Dura Gloss) were associated with the highest Ra values. Conclusion The effect of F/P systems on Ra is material-dependent and instrument or system-dependent.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of two packable and one microhybrid resin composites placed in occlusal cavities of posterior permanent teeth after 1 year. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Sixty occlusal restorations were placed in 18 male or female patients aged 21 to 44 years. The restorations were divided into three groups according to the restorative material: G1 (Surefil + Prime&Bond NT); G2 (Filtek P60 + Singlebond), and G3 (Suprafill + Suprafill). They were placed by two previously calibrated operators. The restorations were directly evaluated for color matching, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, wear, marginal adaptation, and postoperative sensitivity. RESULTS: Of the total restorations, 66.7% were scored A (ideal) for color matching; 98.2% for marginal discoloration; 100% for secondary caries; 92.6% for wear; and 92.6% for marginal adaptation. Postoperative sensitivity was reported in 5% of the restorations. Fisher's exact, McNamara's, and chi-square tests did not indicate statistical difference between the groups, related to the evaluated criteria. CONCLUSIONS: The packable (Filtek P60 and Surefil) and the microhybrid (Suprafill) resin composites exhibited excellent clinical performance after 1 year and may be considered possible materials for the restoration of posterior teeth.

RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil de egressos do curso de graduação em Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, formados no modelo curricular vigente até o ano de 2009, denominado 6404. Uma amostra de conveniência de 233 cirurgiões-dentistas graduados de 2003 a 2008 foi entrevistada individualmente com uso de formulário específico. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados e submetidos à análise estatística descritiva e inferencial (teste chi-quadrado Pearson ou teste Exato de Fisher) (α=5%). Verificou-se que 30,9% dos egressos atuavam somente como profissionais liberais, 15% apenas em cargo público e que 40,8% associavam o exercício liberal à docência, cargo público e/ou empresa privada. O grau de satisfação com a profissão mostrou-se diretamente relacionado à renda e não aos conhecimentos adquiridos. A renda foi influenciada pelo tipo de exercício profissional. Concluiu-se que os egressos possuem o perfil de um profissional preocupado com a educação continuada e que geralmente associa a atividade liberal a outro exercício laboral no âmbito da Odontologia. Este profissional, à medida em que apresenta mais tempo de formado, melhora sua renda mensal, mas exibe menor confiança na melhora do mercado de trabalho (AU).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of dentists that graduated from the Federal University of Pernambuco, who graduated during the curricular model that was in force until 2009, called 6404. A convenience sample consisted of 233 dentists who graduated from 2003 to 2008 were individually interviewed using a specially-designed questionnaire for data collection. Data were tabulated and subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis (Pearson's chi-squared test or Fisher exact test) (α = 5%). It was found that 30.9% of the dentists were self-employed, 15% worked only in public service and 40.8% combined being selfemployed with teaching, and public service or private practice. The degree of satisfaction with the profession was directly related to income and not to the acquired knowledge. The income was influenced by the type of professional activity. It was concluded that the dentists were concerned about continuing education and generally combine being self-employed with another type of work in the dentistry setting. The longer the time that has passed since graduation, the better the monthly income for these professionals, but they have less confidence that the labor market will improve (AU).

A busca pelo conhecimento das características e da opinião dos estudantes do nível superior fornece importantes subsídios para o planejamento e reorganização do desenvolvimento acadêmico. Com o objetivo de traçar o perfil do aluno do Centro de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), foram distribuídos formulários aos acadêmicos do 2º período, contendo perguntas referentes aos seus aspectos socioeconômicos e pessoais. O perfil dos estudantes (n = 210) caracterizou-se por um predomínio feminino, com idades entre 19 e 21 anos, provenientes de escolas privadas e classes sociais economicamente mais favorecidas, que receberam grande influência do núcleo familiar na escolha da profissão. A maioria dos estudantes não estava matriculada nos cursos de primeira opção, porém possuía alta expectativa com relação ao curso, considerando-o correspondente às suas expectativas. Após formados pretendem realizar algum curso de pós-graduação e trabalhar no serviço público. No entanto, persiste um problema relativo à escolha da profissão, regulada pela condição socioeconômica e influência familiar.
Carrying out surveys that attempt to understand the characteristics and opinions of students at university level may provide important information for planning and reorganizing academic development. In order to profile the students of the Center for Health Sciences, at the Federal University of Pernambuco, questionnaires were distributed to the academics in the second term of the course, containing questions regarding their socio-economic and personal aspects. The profile of students (n = 210) was characterized by a predominance of females, aged between 19 and 21 years, who had been to private schools, were from the most economically advantaged social classes, and had been greatly influenced by their family regarding career choice. Most students were not enrolled in the courses they had chosen as their first option, but had high expectations about the course, and considered that the course met their expectations. After finishing the course, most students intend to take a postgraduate course and work in public service. One problem that remains concerning the choice of the profession, is that it might be determined by socio-economic status and family influence.
RESUMO
Com o crescente apelo estético da sociedade, um dos principais procedimentos realizados pelos cirurgiões-dentistas consiste na troca de restaurações de amálgama de prata, de elementos posteriores, por materiais que agreguem resistência mecânica e propriedades ópticas semelhantes à estrutura dental sadia. Para reabilitar elementos dentais extensamente comprometidos, muitas vezes necessitamos indicar procedimentos indiretos, e, para isso, dispomos de cerômeros e cerâmicas, embora tal alternativa não se apresente viável para a grande parcela da população, tendo em vista ser de alto custo. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo abordar a utilização de resinas compostas como alternativa para a confecção de restauração do tipo onlay por meio de uma breve revisão de literatura e de um relato de um caso clínico realizado na Clínica de Dentística 2 da UFPE.
With the society's increasing aesthetic appeal, the amalgam restoration changes from posterior teeth with materials that add strength and optical properties similar to the healthy tooth structure has been one of the most performed procedures by dentists. To rehabilitate dental elements widely compromised, we often need to indicate indirect procedures, and, for that kind of necessity, we have ceromers and ceramics. However, because of its high cost, this alternative is not viable for most people. The aim of this study is to address the use of composite resins as an alternative to these onlay restorations, through a brief literature review and clinical case report at the Clinic of Dentistry 2, UFPE.

Restauração Dentária Permanente , Adesivos DentináriosRESUMO
A atual filosofia odontológica de máxima preservação e mínima intervenção tem aumentado o interesse por métodos de preparos cavitários ultraconservadores. Técnicas convencionais que utilizam instrumentos rotatórios muitas vezes provocam desconforto, uma vez que geram calor, pressão, vibração e ruído. Esse fato motiva a sua substituição ou associação a procedimentos como instrumentação ultrassônica, laser de alta potência, microabrasão a ar e soluções químicas, os quais são mais confortáveis para os pacientes, porque reduzem a necessidade de anestesia e preservam maior quantidade de estrutura dentária sadia. Esta revisão de literatura aborda métodos alternativos para a confecção de preparos cavitários em dentística, destacando vantagens e desvantagens, com ênfase nos métodos que empregam as soluções químicas. Foi possível concluir que, segundo o estágio técnico-científico atual, as soluções químicas se destacam por proporcionarem maior conforto ao paciente, além de promoverem seletividade na remoção de tecido dental infectado e não interferirem na qualidade adesiva das restaurações.
The current philosophy of maximum preserving and minimum intervention has increased the interest in methods of ultraconservations cavities preparations. Conventional techniques that use rotary instruments often cause discomfort as they generate heat, pressure, vibrationand noise. This fact that motivates the substitution or association with the procedures ultrasonic instrumentation,high-power laser, micro air-abrasion and chemical solutions, which are more comfortable for patients because it reduces the need for anesthesia and preserve greater quantity of healthy tooth structure. This review of literature will address alternative methods to make cavities preparations in Dentistry, high lighting advantages and disadvantages, with emphasis on methods that employ chemical solutions. It was possible to conclude that, according to the techno-scientific current stage, the chemical solutions are distinguished by providing greater comfort to the patient as well as promoting selectivity in the removal of infected tissue dental and not interfere with the quality of adhesive restorations.

A aparência do sorriso tem grande impacto na vida dos indivíduos, afetando desde o convívio social até relações profissionais. Assim a Odontologia Estética, com o passar do tempo, tem evoluído em busca de materiais e técnicas restauradoras que mimetizem o aspecto natural dos elementos dentários. Um dos saltos qualitativos foi conseguido com o emprego da nanotecnologia aos compósitos restauradores que possibilitou o surgimento das resinas com nanopartículas. Atualmente os materiais "nano" vem despontando no mercado, graças ao marketing das partículas nanométricas, relacionando-as com os resultados obtidos em testes laboratoriais. Entretanto será que estes compósitos são a única ou melhor escolha para procedimentos restaraudores estéticos anteriores? O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de abordar o atual estágio das resinas compostas para a realização de restauraçõesestéticas em dentes anteriores, ressaltando o desempenho dos compósitos em pesquisas, bem como a influências destas no restabelecimento morfo-estético-funcional dos elementos anteriores, como também, apresentar um caso clínico de fechamento diastema anterior mediano, onde a técnica restauradora direta foi realizada como alternativa ao tratamento ortodôntico.
The smile appearence has a great impact on people's lives, affecting not only social life but also professional relationships. Therefore the aesthetic dentistry, along the years, has developed a lot through the research for materials and restorative tecchniques that copy the natural aspect of the human teeth. One of the biggest leaps was achieved through the union of nanotechnology and restorative composites, what has made possible the appearing of the nanofil composite resins. Nowadays these new materials have been arising in the dental market, thanks to the nanocomposites, relating them to the results obtained in laboratorial tests. However, will these composites be the best alternative to aesthetic restorative procedures? The aim of this study is to approach the resin's present situation for the achievement of aesthetic restorations in anterior teeth, standig out the composite's performance through researches, as well as the influence they have upon the morpho-aesthetic-functional anterior teeth's re-establishment. Also, in this study we present an anterior diastema closure case report, in which the direct restorative technique was used as an alternative to the orthodontic treatment.

A técnica supervisionada de clareamento dental representa uma alternativa para reversão química do escurecimento dentário, sendo realizada com a aplicação, sobre os dentes, do peróxido de carbamida, em concentrações variadas, com o auxílio de moldeiras personalizadas. Este trabalho avaliou clinicamente a efetividade e segurança de uso do peróxido de carbamida em duas concentrações, quando aplicados com moldeiras individualizadas confeccionadas com ou sem alívio na face vestibular. Foram selecionados 26 pacientes, que se submeteram ao clareamento dental com peróxido de carbamida a 16% (arco suprior) e a 10% (arco inferior). As moldeiras foram confeccionadas com alívio apenas nos hemi-arcos esquerdos (superior e inferior) e os pacientes foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois subgrupos, onde o primeiro realizou o tratamento por 02 horas/dia e o segundo por 04 horas/dia. Os resultados do estudo evidenciaram que não houve diferenças significativas, após 14 dias de tratamento clareador, entre os grupos estudados. Entretanto, foi possível observar que a concentração de 16% empregada por horas/dia foi responsável por uma maior incidência de sensibilidade trans-operatória, assim como de leve irritação gengival. Concluindo-se que: as concentrações de peróxido de carbamida 10% e 165 foram efetivadas para o clareamento de dentes naturalmente escurecidos quando usadas, por um período de 14 dias, em moldeiras com ou sem alívio vestibular; e que quanto maior a concentração e o tempo de exposição ao agente clareador maior a possibilidade dentária trans-operatória e irritação gengival.
Home tooth bleaching represents an alternative to chemical reversal of natural teeth darkening, through the application of the carbamida peroxide in varied concentrations and with the help of customed trays. This work evaluated clinically the effectiveness and safety of two different concentrations of carbamide peroxide, when applied with individualized trays made with or without relief on the labial surface. Twenty-six patients were selected and submitted to tooth bleaching with 16% carbamide peroxide (superior dental arch) and 10% (inferior dental arch). The relief of the trays was applied exclusively in the semi-arches. The patients were randomly divided into two subgroups: the first subgroup was exposed to two hours daily, and the other one four hours daily. There was no significant evidence of differences between the studied groups after 14 days of bleaching treatment. However, it was possible to observe that the concentration of 16% employed for 04 hours/day was responsible for a higher incidence of trans-operative sensitivity, as well as mild gingival irritation. In conclusion, the concentrations of carbamide peroxide 10% and 16% were effective for the bleaching of naturally darkened teeth when used for a period of 14 days in trays with or withoutlabial relief; and the greater the concentration and time of exposure to the whitening agent, the greater the possibility of trans-operative sensitivity and gingival irritation.

O clareamento dental é um dos procedimentos estéticos mais solicitados atualmente. As técnicas de clareamento para dentes vitais são: o clareamento supervisionado (caseiro); e o clareamento de consultório, cuja técnica associa ou não o uso de fonte de luz com um gel mais concentrado. A ativação, utilizando fontes de luz, do peróxido de hidrogênio na técnica do consultório pode ser realizada através de aparelhos emissores de LED (Laser Emiting Diode), sistemas híbridos LED/Laser, laser, luz halógena ou arco de plasma. Este tema é bastante controverso na atualidade, portanto é importante que o profissional saiba identificar os efeitos que a utilização de uma fonte de luz auxiliar pode causar tanto sobre o gel clareador quanto sobre a estrutura dental. Neste trabalho foi realizada uma revisão de literatura nas bases de dados da LILACS, Google Acadêmico, SciELO, PubMed e MEDLINE sobre o emprego e a indicação das fontes luminosas, que são bastante utilizadas no clareamento de consultório. Essa técnica popularizou-se graças aos excelentes resultados alcançados, maior segurança e controle por parte do profissional, entretanto devemos ter cuidado para não gerar calor durante a aplicação destas fontes de luz
The dental bleaching is one of the most currently requested aesthetic procedures in dentistry. The techniques for bleaching vital teeth are: at home bleaching and in-office whitening, which procedure associates or not to the use of light source with a more concentrated gel. The hydrogen peroxide activation using light sources at in-office method may be conducted by the LED (Laser Diode Emiting), hybrid systems LED / Laser, laser, halogen lamp or plasma arc. This topic is very controversial nowadays, so it is important that professionals learn to identify the effects that the use of a light source may assist both the bleaching gel and the tooth structure. In this study, It was conducted a review of current literature in databases from LILACS, Google Scholar, SciELO, PubMed and MEDLINE about the use and indication of light sources, which are much used in the in-office bleaching
