This randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to investigate the effectiveness of at-home , in-office and combined dental bleaching system.
The participants with at least one maxillary tooth demonstrating shade A3 or darker will be recruited and randomly allocated into 4 groups according to the different tooth bleaching protocol:at-home bleaching for group 1,in-office bleaching for group 2 ,combined bleaching for group 3 and group 4.Participates in group 1 will receive two weeks of at-home tooth bleaching (Lasts 14 days and at least 8 hours every day )with 10% Carbamide peroxide(Opalescence PF 10%) , group 2 will receive two sessions (with a 1- week interval )of in-office tooth bleaching with 40% hydrogen peroxide (Opalescence Boost PF 40%),group 3 will receive one week of at-home tooth bleaching (Lasts 7 days and at least 8 hours every day )and then the eighth day receive one session of in-office tooth bleaching , group 4 receive one session of in-office bleaching and lasts 7 days at-home bleaching start on the eighth day . Colour parameters (CIE L\*, a\*, b\*) will be measured with a spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade Advance 4.0) at baseline (T1), after the first bleaching session (T2), after the second bleaching session (T3), 1 month after the completion of bleaching (T4). CIEDE2000 colour difference (△E00), the Whiteness Index for Dentistry (WID) and Tooth sensitivity (TS) will also be calculated. The data will be statistically analysed through repeated ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05).

Change in tooth colour
Colour parameters (CIE L\*, a\*, b\*) will be measured with a spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade Advance 4.0). The color alteration after each session will be given by the differences between the values obtained at the sessions and the baseline (∆E).
Time frame: six weeks
Tooth sensitivity evaluation
Using the visual analogue scale (VAS) record the Tooth sensitivity (TS) throughout the entire treatment
Time frame: two weeks
