INSTRUCTIONS FOR VITAL TEETH WHITENING:

1. Determine and record pre-operative shade.
2. Clean teeth with prophylaxis paste.
3. Place cheek retractors and then cover exposed lip surface with petroleum gel.
4. Dry teeth and apply Gingival Barrier to both arches, slightly overlapping enamel and interproximal spaces.
5. Light cure in a fanning motion for 10-20 seconds until Gingival Barrier is cured.
6. Open powder pot. Take one BLITZ WHITE syringe (Hydrogen Peroxide), firmly attach a tip, and carefully pull back the plunger to release pressure.
7. Carefully extrude contents of syringe into the pot.
8. Immediately mix using a brush applicator until gel is homogeneous.
9. Apply a thick layer of gel to all teeth undergoing treatment.
10. Leave gel on for 8 minutes 
11. Suction off using a surgical aspirator tip.
12. Repeat steps 9-11 if required.
Note: One pot should be used within 20 minutes of mixing.
13. After the last application, suction all the gel off, then wash and apply suction.
14. Remove Gingival Barrier by lifting it from one end.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR NON-VITAL TEETH WHITENING:

1. Determine and record pre-operative shade.
2. Isolate tooth / teeth undergoing brightening using a rubber dam. Ensure the dam fits tightly at the cervical margin. Note: If a rubber dam is not used, cover approximately half of the adjacent vital teeth with 3-4mm thick layer of Gingival Barrier to insulate from heat discomfort of the curing light. This is done when one tooth is being brightened non-vitally.
3. Open lingual access to the pulp chamber and remove all composite, base material and gutta percha 2-3 mm apical to the CE junction. Place a glass ionomer / zinc phosphate base, at least 1 mm thick to ensure a barrier between the “sealed” root canal and brightening gel.
4. Place and light cure a thick layer of Gingival Barrier at the gingiva region of the isolated tooth.
5. Mix the Blitz White gel as instructed in steps 6-8 of the vital tooth bleaching instructions.
6. Place the Blitz White gel into the opened pulp chamber and onto the labial surface.
7. Leave gel on / in for 8 min (Optional: curing light may be used at this stage, please refer to light manufactures recommendations) NOTE: If using a curing light and treating inner and outer surfaces, 2 curing lights can be used (one on each side of tooth) to activate Blitz White.
8. Suction off the gel.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 until desired shade is achieved. Note: One pot should be used within 20 minutes of mixing.
10. After the last application, suction and wash the gel off.
11. Remove Gingival Barrier and re-seal tooth with appropriate restorative.
12. Record the final shade.
