Opalescence™ PF 16% Case report by Dr. Clarissa Jänig Cosmetic tooth whitening is increasing in popularity and is a frequent topic on social media. Increasingly, on their own initiative, patients request information about tooth whitening. Depending on the individual patient case, I recommend different products from the Opalescence™ range: the most suitable product for the patient is selected according to the shape of the dental arch, the personal preferences of the patient – with regard to the wearing times of the trays, their reusability for future "refreshment" treatment – and, last but not least, the financial resources available.

User report by Dr. David Stachowicz In many clinical situations, the dental profession can be stressful and demanding for the dentist as well as for the patient. On the one hand, a user’s key requirement is, to have an open and unrestricted access to the treatment area. On the other hand, patients are seeking for enhanced treatment comfort, without being faced with muscle fatigue and anxiety. Seeming to be quite contradictory, these demands commonly cannot be met in an easy way. Very often, there are disrupting elements in the way and the appropriate retraction of all soft tissues can turn out to be genuinely challenging for all parties involved.
