Scientific titleInvestigation of the cellular effects and clinical effectiveness of currently prescribed doses of carbamide peroxide tooth whitening products: a randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesWhat is the effect of differing concentrations of carbamide peroxide tooth whitening products on the oral hard and soft tissues?
Ethics approval(s)University College Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Ethics Committee, July 2006
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTooth whitening
Intervention1. Treatment with whitening kits with 10% carbamide peroxide
2. Treatment with whitening kits with 16% carbamide peroxide
3. Treatment with whitening kits with 22% carbamide peroxide
4. Treatment with inactive gel
5. Treatment with 16% whitening strips carbamide peroxide

Total duration of active tooth whitening treatment was 14 days. Patient were seen for clinical assessement on Day 0 (start), Day 14 and at 3 months for final review.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Carbamide peroxide
Primary outcome measureCurrent information as of 26/01/2009:
Alteration in tooth colour from the three prescribed agents (non-active placebo, 10% carbamide peroxide and 16% carbamide peroxide) during a 2 week course of tooth whitening and the overall colour stability at 3 months.

Initial information at time of registration:
1. To measure the efficacy of carbamide peroxide concentration on rate and longevity of tooth shade variation
2. To investigate the effect of currently used dosages of carbamide peroxide on human oral epithelium
Secondary outcome measuresAdded 26/01/2009:
1. Soft tissue changes during the active treatment period and on subsequent review
2. Tooth senstivitiy over the active treatment period
3. Patients perceptions of tooth colour at baseline, 2 weeks and 3 months
