Type: Clinical Study

📄 Abstract

This clinical study examines the relationship between preventive oral healthcare and dental whitening, demonstrating that aesthetic outcomes depend on long-term oral health preservation. Rather than a purely cosmetic intervention, dental whitening is presented within a comprehensive clinical framework that includes patient education, behavioral guidance, and professional supervision.

Through structured case analysis, the study highlights the importance of preventive protocols, periodontal health maintenance, and clinical monitoring to achieve safe and effective whitening results. The findings reinforce prevention as the essential biological and clinical foundation of aesthetic dentistry.
