Opalescence Boost in-office power whitener is a chemically activated gel that provides brighter, whiter teeth after about an hour in the dental chair. The powerful 40% hydrogen peroxide gel is chemically activated, so it doesn’t require a hot, uncomfortable light to work. Using the unique double-syringe configuration, the clinician activates the 40% hydrogen peroxide formula just prior to application, ensuring every dose of Opalescence Boost whitening is fresh and effective.
- Chemically activated, so no light is needed
- Powerful 40% hydrogen peroxide gel
- Opalescence tooth whitening gel contains PF (potassium nitrate and fluoride)
- Fresh chemical for each application
- Precise delivery
- Easy to see for complete removal
- Two to three 20-minute applications
- Thicker formula prevents the gel from running
- No refrigeration required prior to mixing

Procedures
Opalescence Boost Whitening Procedure
See Instructions for Use for complete instructions, warnings, and precautions.
Step 1

Place protective eyeware and clothing on yourself and the patient to prevent contact with whitening agent. Check to see that the syringes are securely attached before mixing. To mix, follow the instructions on the reverse side.
Step 2

Press all mixed gel into the RED syringe. Separate the two syringes and attach the Black Mini™ tip or other recommended tip onto the red syringe. Check the flow on a cotton gauze or pad prior to applying it intraorally. If resistance is met, replace the tip and recheck the flow.
Step 3

Place Ultradent IsoBlock™ bite block and self-supporting plastic cheek retractors. Completely rinse and air dry teeth and gingiva.
Step 4

Securely attach a Black Mini tip to OpalDam™ Green resin barrier and check flow. Express a continuous bead along the gingival margin, overlapping approximately 0.5 mm onto the enamel. Begin and finish the bead one tooth beyond the most distal tooth that is being whitened. Express the resin through any open embrasures.
Step 5

Light cure the OpalDam Green resin barrier for 20 seconds per arch using a scanning motion. Check the resin cure with an instrument using caution not to disrupt the seal.
Step 6

Apply a 0.5–1.0 mm thick layer of gel to the labial surface of the teeth. Allow the gel to remain on the teeth for 20 minutes per application.
Step 7

Suction gel from teeth using the Ultradent™ Luer Vacuum Adapter and SST™ tip or a surgical suction tip. Do not use water. Repeat steps 6–7. Stop when desired results are achieved, or if the three applications per visit maximum has been met.
Step 8

After the final application is complete and all visible gel is removed, thoroughly rinse teeth with an air/water spray and the high volume suction.
Step 9

Gently slide the tip of a dental instrument beneath the OpalDam resin barrier and lift it off. Check for and remove any interproximal remnants.
Step 10

Evaluate the shade change. If additional whitening is desired and no significant sensitivity is noted, reschedule the patient in 3–5 days for repeat treatment or dispense take-home whitening treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does whitening work?
The whitening process is possible due to the ability of the carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide to freely pass through enamel and dentin and to permeate to all parts of the tooth.10 These peroxides break down into oxygen radicals, which migrate between the enamel prisms, breaking down any colored molecules that result in tooth discoloration. The structure of the tooth is not altered; the internal tooth color is simply made lighter.
Whitening agents break down into tiny molecules and move in all directions, so even if the entire tooth is not covered with gel, the entire tooth is whitened.11
Numerous studies have proven the effectiveness of peroxides in whitening teeth. Enamel, dentin, existing fillings, and bonding materials are not harmed by the whitening materials.6
-
Will whitening affect bond strength?
Even though whitening agents release a great amount of oxygen into the tooth, existing bonds are not weakened.12,13
If whitening before bonding, allow a period of 7–10 days after whitening. The high concentration of oxygen in the tooth could significantly and adversely affect polymerization of the resins.14,15 -
How long do whitening results last?
Whitening results are very stable, but depending on the patient’s nutrition and lifestyle habits, the procedure may need to be redone periodically. Due to the safety of the whitening agents, this should not concern the dentist or patient. -
Will whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity is a relatively common side effect of whitening. If sensitivity occurs, it is transient and disappears after the completion of the whitening procedure.
