Abstract

Nerijetko se kod ljudi javlja nesigurnost u boju i izgled zubi i vrlo im je bitan izgled njihovog osmijeha. Boja zuba ima velik psihološki i socijalni utjecaj na ljude i utječe na mišljenje o vlastitom izgledu. Izbjeljivanje gelovima u udlagama danas je jedan od najtraženijih estetskih zahvata među pacijentima. Postoji razlika pri procjeni boje zuba između stomatologa i pacijenta pa tako pacijenti svoje zube doživljavaju tamnijima za razliku od svojih stomatologa.
Svjedočimo sve većem općem utjecaju društvenih mreža pa tako i utjecaju društvenih mreža na opći izgled i izgled zuba. Iz tog razloga javlja se sve veći broj pacijenata s nerealnim očekivanjima. Trebalo bi jasnije odrediti što pacijent može očekivati od pojedinog zahvata kako bi se izbjegle eventualne neugodnosti nakon završenog zahvata.
Svrha ovog rada je provesti dvotjedno izbjeljivanje prirodnih zuba pomoću udlage kod kuće, korištenjem 16% karbamidovog peroksida, te na tjednoj bazi fotografirati promjene i mjeriti indeks izbjeljivanja. Pretpostavlja se da digitalni protokol praćenja promjene boje izbjeljivanih zuba pomaže u poboljšanju komunikacije stomatologa i pacijenta.

Abstract (english)

People are often insecure about the colour and appearance of their teeth, and the appearance of their smile is very important to them. The colour of the teeth has a great psychological and social impact on people and influences the opinion about one's own appearance. Whitening with gels in splints is one of the most requested aesthetic procedures among patients today. There is a difference in tooth colour assessment between the dentist and the patient, so patients perceive their teeth as darker than their dentists.
We are witnessing an increasing general influence of social networks and thus their influence on people’s general appearance and the appearance of their teeth. For this reason, there is a growing number of patients with unrealistic expectations. It should be defined more clearly what the patient can expect from each procedure in order to avoid possible inconveniences after the procedure has been completed.
The objective of this work is to perform a two-week at-home whitening of natural teeth using a splint and 16% carbamide peroxide, thereby photographing the changes and measuring the whitening index on a weekly basis. A digital protocol for monitoring the colour change during the whitening procedure is assumed to help improve communication between the dentist and the patient.
