Objetivo: Determinar la efectividad del aclaramiento dental y sus efectos secundarios durante el tratamiento de ortodoncia fija activo, como un tratamiento estético alternativo en ciertos casos que lo ameriten. Materiales y métodos: Esta revisión narrativa evaluó 35 artículos científicos procedentes de las fuentes de información (PUBMED, EMBASE, SCOPUS, SCIELO y LILACS de los últimos 10 años, publicadas en español, portugués e inglés. Se incluyeron 17 artículos que cumplieron los criterios de selección que fueron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados y estudios observacionales, in vitro e in vivo que evaluaron el aclaramiento en el consultorio, efectuado a pacientes con tratamiento de ortodoncia fija. Se excluyeron revisiones sistemáticas, reporte de casos y editoriales. Resultados: Se observó que el aclaramiento dental en pacientes con tratamiento de ortodoncia activa afectó ...

Introduction: Currently dental aesthetics during fixed orthodontic treatment is an option required by patients, due to the frequent pigmentations that can occur in tooth enamel as a result of inadequate oral hygiene and plaque retention caused by fixed appliances. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of dental whitening and its side effects during active fixed orthodontic treatment, as an alternative aesthetic treatment in certain cases that merit it. Materials and methods: This narrative review evaluated 35 scientific articles from the Medline information sources (via PUBMED), EMBASE, SCOPUS, SCIELO, and LILACS from the last 10 years, published in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. We included 17 articles that met the selection criteria which were randomized clinical trials and observational studies, in vitro studies, and in vivo studies that evaluated in-office dental clearance, pe...

ntroduction: The main consequence of not treating tooth decay in time is the total or partial loss of the tooth. One of the alternatives to replace the lost tooth and return the functions is through fixed prostheses. Today there are 3 generations of yttrium-stabilized zirconium polycrystals (Y-TZP). Seeing that in the third Generation the yttrium content was increased to approximately 5% in moles (5Y), stabilizing the materials approximately 50% of cubic phase and 50% of tetragonal phase, thus giving a translucent zirconium (5Y) with a high aesthetics and greater naturalness to the dental crown. Objective: To identify the different optical and mechanical properties of translucent zirconium compared to other restorative materials used in fixed prostheses. Materials and methods: This narrative review evaluated 115 scientific articles from the Medline information sources (via PubMed), Scien...
