The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and acceptability of whitening toothpaste containing blue covarine in the treatment of tooth discoloration. It is a parallel controlled double-blind randomized clinical trial which followed the guidelines published by CONSORT. Seventy-five subjects with shade mean C1 or darker for the six maxillary anterior teeth were randomized in three treatment groups (n= 25): G1- conventional fluoridated toothpaste, G2- whitening toothpaste containing a silica system and blue covarine, and G3- bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide. Subjects from G1 and G2 were instructed to brush their teeth for 90 seconds, twice per day during 2 weeks. Subjects from G3 used 10% carbamide peroxide gel in a tray for 4h/night also for two weeks. Shade evaluations were done with a spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade® Advance) at baseline, after first application and at 2 and 4 weeks. Subjects perception about tooth color appearance was assessed by a visual analog scale (VAS). Tooth sensitivity (TS) and gingival irritation (GI) were measured daily using a scale ranging from 1 (no sensitivity) to 5 (severe sensitivity) during three weeks, and the acceptability of products was measured with a questionnaire that included questions about subjects opinion regarding the treatment regimen. At all evaluations periods, there was not statistical difference between G1 and G2 groups considering the CIEL*a*b* color parameters (p> 0.3) or the tooth shade means (p> 0.7). At 2-week evaluation, &#916;E* value for G3 was statistically higher (9.2) than for G1 (2.3) and G2 (2.1) (p= 0.0001). G1 and G2 reported a major dissatisfaction with tooth color appearance than G3 (p= 0.0001).Tooth sensitivity and gingival irritation were reported by 12% of subjects from G2, while the same symptoms were perceived by 84% and 80% of G3. At first and second weeks of treatment, G2 experienced tooth sensitivity and gingival irritation similarly to G1 group and statistically lower than G3 (p< 0.01). It was observed a negative correlation between TS/GI and day of evaluation (r= -0.08 and r= -0.91) in G3. Within the limitations of this study, it could be concluded that the whitening toothpaste containing a silica system and blue covarine resulted in no significant changes on tooth color, as the conventional toothpaste. These groups did not show whitening effect as the group treated with 10% carbamide peroxide. However, all could be considered safe and acceptable to be used daily for a short term.
