Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: One hundred and twelve patients with moderate dental fluorosis treated from August 2012 to July 2015 were divided into experimental group and control group according to random number table, with 61 cases in each group. In addition to pretreatment for all patients, patients in the control group were given combined treatment of Beyond LED whitening and fluoride removal agent; while patients in the experimental group were given microabrasion before LED whitening, with the same subsequent treatment process as that in the control group. The whitening effect and tooth sensitivity during whitening were compared between the two groups at the completion of treatment, 1 month and 6 months after treatment. SPSS 19.0 software package was employed for statistical analysis. RESULTS: There were no ineffective or lost patients in 2 groups. The effective rate of whitening for patients in the experimental group at completion of treatment, 1 month and 6 months after treatment was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no case with tooth sensitivity during treatment. There was no significant difference in non-significant sensitivity rate or significant sensitivity rate between the 2 groups (P>0.05).
