The patient felt less confi-dent and wanted her teeth to be whiter. The stages of external bleach treatment are carried out, namely tooth cleaning using a brush and pumice then determining the initial colour of the patient's teeth using the opalescence boost shade guide, astringent ap-plication to the gingival sulcus then gingival barrier. H2O2 40% bleach material was applied for 20 minutes with 2 application cy-cles. In the final stage, application of desensitiser material and giving post-bleaching instructions to the patient.
