Medical Whitening in Real Clinical Practice
― Insights Beyond the Limits of Generative AI ―

生成AIでは教えてくれない医療ホワイトニングのリアルな臨床

Do you still think of whitening simply as a treatment to make teeth whiter?
Today, professional whitening has evolved into a valuable clinical service that strengthens patient trust, promotes preventive care, and encourages long-term patient engagement. In this session, we will explore the scientific evidence behind whitening, successful clinical case examples, and communication strategies that address patients’ needs and motivations. We will also discuss how dental hygienists can play a pivotal role in guiding patients through the whitening process.

Real-World Clinical Guidelines from an Academic Perspective

The latest evidence on whitening agents
Understanding the fundamentals of professional tooth whitening through clinical data
Future perspectives in professional tooth whitening research

With the rapid advancement of generative AI, both dental professionals and patients now have easy access to specialized information. However, AI alone cannot address the realities of clinical practice, such as how to translate evidence into clinical decision-making, patient communication, and treatment selection. This lecture will present practical clinical guidelines for professional tooth whitening by integrating scientific evidence with clinical case experience. Particular emphasis will be placed on high-concentration home whitening and internal bleaching, while also discussing the additional benefits of whitening beyond tooth color improvement.
