SAFETY STUDIES
Independent safety studies, conducted by the University of Medicine and
Dentistry of New Jersey and confirmed by senior researchers at NYU, prove that
the BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening
Treatment is safe, while clinical studies performed by
BriteSmile and others show that our whitening results confirm an
average of 9 or more shades lighter and even higher for individuals with
darker teeth.
You can see the
complete BriteSmile
safety study, or you can review the highlights from the studies below.
- A pre-clinical study on the effect of BriteSmile
upon hardness of enamel and composite was conducted by the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The Study concluded: "The results of
this study indicate that the BriteSmile Tooth
Whitening system will not cause softening of enamel and composite materials
tested".
- The findings of the pre-clinical study were confirmed by a Scanning
Electron Microscopic (SEM), study. The study's conclusions stated that: "The
data indicates that the BriteSmile Whitening
System did not cause structural or morphological changes of enamel, and it is
therefore concluded that the procedures involved are not caustic or
corrosive".
- Senior researchers at New York University reviewed the data from the SEM
and pre-clinical hardness studies. The review confirmed the findings of the
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey researchers. Finding no
change in surface morphology and hardness of the
BriteSmile treated specimens when compared with untreated controls. The
study concluded that: "The results indicate that
BriteSmile treatment is safe towards enamel and is not corrosive or
caustic".
- A clinical study was conducted by BriteSmile
and investigators associated with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of
New Jersey to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of the
BriteSmile system. Fifty healthy subjects were
selected to participate in the multi-center study. The clinical study found
that all subjects had a significant improvement in tooth color, with an
average shade change of 8.1 tabs. Additionally, clinical examinations showed
all soft and hard tissues were within normal limits.
A study by the prestigious Forsyth Institute also confirmed the 9+ shades
average improvement achieved using the BriteSmile
process. Additionally, this study confirmed that
BriteSmile is completely safe for young adults 14+, paving the way for
BriteSmile to become the method of choice for
removing stains associated with orthodontic treatment.
