The study involved 32 patients of one age group (25-29 years), men and women. Previously, they did not perform teeth whitening procedures, but wanted to do so for the first time. In order to assess the possibility of prescribing products for home teeth whitening, an examination was performed, an assessment of the state of oral hygiene, the identification of possible contraindications to the procedure. All patients were divided into two groups - the main (16) and control group (16). Having determined the index of oral hygiene according to Fedorov-Volodkina, the following data were obtained: patients of the first group - 1.27 ± 0.045; patients of the second group - 1.30 ± 0.05. After that, professional oral hygiene was performed by a combined method, using an ultrasonic scaler and an Air-flow system. The next step was to determine the color on the Vita scale (Zahnfabric, Germany). Patients in the main group were prescribed whitening strips Crest 3D White Whitestrips for 15 days for 10 minutes, morning and dinner after brushing. Patients in the control group were prescribed iWhite Instant2 Whitening Kit once a day for 15 minutes for 10 days.
