The use of bleaching gels with low hydrogen peroxide (HP) concentration, as well as the reduction of application times or its association with calcium-containing agents may be clinical approaches to reduce the amount of HP that reaches the pulp tissue to cause local damage. However, only a few data have been published about the pulp response of human teeth subjected to in-office bleaching protocols. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the in vivo pulp response of human lower incisors after in-office bleaching. In the experiment 1, a bleaching gel with two different HP concentrations (Whiteness HP Maxx 20 and 35%) as evaluated. In the experiment 2, the HP was applied in three 15-min applications and in a single 45-min application using a calcium-containing (Whiteness HP Blue) or calcium-free (Whiteness HP Maxx) HP agent. In the experiment 3, the pulp response of human incisors of young and older patients was evaluated after in-office bleaching with 35% HP. In all experiments, the bleaching agents were applied on the buccal surface of lower human incisors and two days after the procedure they were extracted. The pulp tissue from the crown portion of all teeth was histologically evaluated and the data subjected to appropriate statistical analysis. The bleaching efficacy and the tooth sensitivity (yes/no) were also evaluated. In all bleached teeth, a whitening of 2 to 3 shade guide units were observed and all patients reported tooth pain;findings not observed in the control (non-bleached) teeth. In general, all in-office bleaching protocols regardless of the tooth age showed partial necrosis of the crown pulp tissue associated with a deposition of reactionary dentin. Only the application of the Whiteness HP Blue 35% showed better pulp response with reduced areas of pulp necrosis in a reduced number of teeth. It was conclude that the in-office bleaching with HP 20 or 35% of human lower incisors applied in three 15-min or in a single 45-min applications produced pulp damage with partial tissue necrosis and deposition of reactionary dentin both in young and older teeth. Only in-office bleaching with a 35% calcium-containing HP showed reduced pulp damage.
