Instructions for vital tooth whitening:

1. Determine and record pre-operative shade.

2. Clean teeth with ONLY a flour-based pumice

3. Place cheek retractors and then cover the exposed lip surface with petroleum gel

4. Dry teeth and apply Gingival Barrier to both arches, slightly overlapping enamel and interproximal spaces

5. Light cure in a fanning motion for 10-20 seconds until Gingival Barrier is cured

6. Firmly attach a mixing nozzle to the Pola Office+ syringe away from the patient. Dispense a small amount of gel onto a mixing pad until a uniform gel is extruded

7. Using the nozzle as a guide, directly apply a thin layer of gel to all teeth undergoing treatment. A thin layer will help prevent the gel from running.

NOTE: It is best not to lift the nozzle when moving from tooth to tooth. Use a continuous motion

8. Leave gel on for 8 minutes (Optional: a curing light may be used at this stage, please refer to light manufacturer’s recommendations)

9. Suction off using a surgical aspirator tip. Note: It is normal for a residue layer of gel to remain on the surface of the teeth

10. Repeat steps 7-9 three times (optional 4 times)

11.After the last application, suction all the gel off, then wash and apply suction

12. Remove Gingival Barrier by lifting it from one end

13. Record the final shade.

Tips for non-vital tooth whitening:

1. Isolate tooth effectively

2. Protect oral mucosa to prevent chemical burns

3. Verify adequate endodontic obturation

4. Use a protective barrier to prevent peroxide from reaching the periodontal ligament

5. Avoid acid etching as periodontal ligament irritation may result

6. Advise the patient that a whitened non-vital tooth will not look the same as a vital tooth

7. Recall patients periodically to examine the whitened teeth (clinically & radiographically).

Instructions for NON-vital tooth whitening:

1. Determine and record pre-operative shade. 

2. Isolate tooth/teeth undergoing whitening using a rubber dam. Ensure the dam fits tightly at the cervical margin.

Note: If a rubber dam is not used, cover approximately half of the adjacent vital teeth with a 3-4mm thick layer of Gingival Barrier to insulate from the heat discomfort of the curing light. This is done when one tooth is being whitened non-vitally

3. Open lingual access to the pulp chamber and remove all composite, base material and gutta-percha 2-3 mm apical to the CE junction. Place a glass ionomer/zinc phosphate base, at least 1 mm thick to ensure a barrier between the “sealed” root canal and whitening gel

4. Place the Pola Office+ gel into the opened pulp chamber and onto the labial surface

5. Leave gel on/in for 8 min (Optional: curing light may be used at this stage, please refer to light manufacturer’s recommendations)

Note : If using a curing light and treating inner and outer surfaces, 2 curing lights can be used (one on each side of the tooth) to activate Pola Office+

6. Suction off the gel

7. Repeat steps 4-6 until desired shade is achieved

8. After the last application, suction and wash the gel off

9. Record the final shade.
