This randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of different desensitizing protocols in preventing pulp inflammation after bleaching treatment with 35% hydrogen peroxide (PH) (Whiteness PH 35%).
Thirty healthy third human molars extracted by orthodontic indication were randomized and allocated into five groups (n = 6): CN (negative control): without intervention; CP (Positive control): PH; PMB: PH + photobiomodulation with low power laser; CPP: PH + casein phosphopeptide phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACPF); NANO: PH + nanohydroxyapatite. The office whitening was performed in two sessions with a single application of 45 min and an interval of 48 hours between them. Pulp tissues were removed for immunohistochemical analysis. Immunostaining was performed for Caspase 3 using an Axio Scope.A1 microscope.

Single application of 45 minutes on the buccal surfaces of third molars, with an average thickness of 1 mm
A dose of LASER (60 J / cm2, for 16 seconds) was applied at two points, one point in the cervical region and another in the center of the buccal surface of the third molars, using visible infrared LASER therapy (Photon III / DMC, São Carlos, SP, Brazil), with a wavelength of 808 nm, and AsGaAl, as an active medium.
Topical application of casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride CPP-ACPF (My Paste Plus, Recaldent, GC, USA) with the aid of a microbrush (KG Sorensen, SP, Brazil) in a passive way for 5 minutes.
