Whitening Instructions
LUMIBRITE
™
Chairside Whitening System contains stabilized hydrogen peroxide for maximum whitening ability
and fluoride for overall oral health, and a proven desensitizer for patient comfort. See the back cover for ordering
information. Remove the LUMIBRITE Chairside whitening gel syringe from the refrigerator and allow it to come to
room temperature for about 30 minutes before it is used.
1. Prophy teeth to remove calculus and extrinsic stains before beginning the whitening treatment.
2. Take “before” photographs and record tooth color using a shade guide arranged in bleaching order.
3. Insert cheek retractors. Have the patient bite down and rest tongue on a tongue block.
4. Air-dry the gingival tissue and teeth.
5. Using the dispensing tip, apply Paint-On Dental Dam to the gingiva to isolate gums around the selected
teeth. Overlap the dental dam onto the gingival tissue of adjacent teeth (about 0.5 mm) and light-cure for
1–2 seconds per tip width with a Sapphire
®
Plasma Arc Curing (PAC) light.
6. Once the Paint-On Dental Dam is cured, apply Lip Moisturizer provided in the kit to the lips and mucosa,
applying well beyond the vermillion border.
7. Remove the tip from the end of the LUMIBRITE desensitizing enhancer recappable syringe and dispense
a portion of the LUMIBRITE desensitizing enhancer into a dappen dish. Apply in a very thin (about
0.2 mm) layer on the labial surface of the teeth using the brush applicator provided in the kit and allow
to sit for one minute. Wipe off any excess. Firmly recap the LUMIBRITE desensitizing enhancer syringe.
8. Prepare the auto-mix syringe.
- Align the wedge-shaped key on edge of the static mixer housing with the opening in the syringe flange.
- Push the static mixing tip onto the syringe and turn 90° clockwise until it stops.
9. Dispense a portion of the LUMIBRITE whitening gel into a separate dappen dish. Use the brush applicator to
apply a 1–1.5 mm layer onto the labial surface of the teeth. Distribute the gel evenly over the teeth treated in
Step 7 with the LUMIBRITE desensitizing enhancer. Agitate to mix LUMIBRITE desensitizer and LUMIBRITE
whitening gel.
10. Install the Sapphire whitening crystal in place of the curing tip on the end of the Sapphire PAC light pistol.
11. Position the Sapphire whitening crystal close to and directly in front of the teeth, using a combination of the
articulating arm and chair adjustments.
Center the Sapphire whitening crystal 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the teeth within the cheek retractor with the outer
edges touching (if possible).
12. Press the Optional button on the Sapphire PAC light keypad, then press 2 to select bleaching mode. The
letters bL (bleach) will appear in the Program window, the number 60 will appear in the seconds window
and 60 minutes will appear on the pistol handle.
