Forty patients will be divided into two groups and randomly allocated to each group: usual diet (control) or white diet, avoiding dye-containing food and beverages. patients will be assessed through a food frequency questionnaire and color measurement using a spectrophotometer at baseline and six months after bleaching.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Tooth color

    Will be assessed using a spectrophotometer

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Food frequency questionnaire

    Patients will respond to a 30 item questionnaire regarding their daily diet. A Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was constructed to evaluate the consumption of chromogenic food and beverage of patients in the last year. A list of 54 foods and beverages that, according to the literature, have the potential to cause some kind of extrinsic pigmentation, was elaborated. In each food of beverage, the individual will be asked if he consumed in the last year and if the answer is yes, the consumption frequency (0 to 10 times) per unit of time (day, week, month or year). In addition, each individual will answer regarding the amount relative to the mean portion, half of the mean portion, or twice of the mean portion. The size of the mean portions will be considered by calculating the mean of each food consumed. The home measure for the mean portion will be based on the Table of Evaluation of Food Consumption in Home Measures (Pinheiro et al. 2000).

    Measured: 6 months
