Non-vital bleaching or internal whitening comes in many forms, but it’s often confusing which exact protocol to adopt. When you learn this technique you can make a HUGE difference to a patient’s smile in a minimally invasive manner.

Restorative Specialist Dr. AJ Ray-Chaudhuri covered the all-important diagnoses and indications of internal bleaching as well as how to treat tooth calcific metamorphosis (the obliterated pulp). We answer the key question: do you always need to have a root canal treatment present?

The Protrusive Dental Pearl: When carrying out internal bleaching make sure to clean out the entire pulp chamber especially the necrotic pulp horns – clean the necrotic tissue inside using ultrasonics. Ensure the entire chamber is de-roofed – remember that these are mostly trauma cases and the pulp went necrotic in youth – hence large pulp chambers. No role for Ninja access here!
