13. Press the Start or pistol activator button to start the bleaching process. The number 60 (minutes) appears
in the Program window and seconds begin to count down in the Seconds window. When the Sapphire
light beeps, fifteen (15) minutes have elapsed. Check on the comfort of the patient. After the second beep,
30 minutes have elapsed.
14. Move the Sapphire whitening crystal away from the teeth. Leave the Paint-On Dental Dam in place and
vacuum gel from the teeth. Wipe with gauze and rinse the teeth while suctioning. Avoid splatter. Some
patients with heavy discoloration or areas of unseen hypocalcification may need another 30-minute
session to achieve desired whitening results. Evaluate the results with the patient, if possible.
Note: In some cases you may have attained acceptable whitening in the first 30-minute session. If so, a second
session is not indicated.
Note: In some cases, it may be necessary to peel away the Paint-On Dental Dam to make a shade determination.
If the Paint-On Dental Dam is removed and another 30-minute application is indicated, remember to reapply the
Paint-On Dental Dam to protect the gingival tissue.
15. If another 30-minute session is desired, reapply both desensitizing enhancer and whitening gel following
instructions beginning with Step 7.
Note: Be sure to inspect the Paint-On Dental Dam for any cracking or lifting before re-applying the desensitizing
enhancer and whitening gel. If the seal has broken from the tissue, it is recommended to remove and replace the
Paint-On Dental Dam and begin with Step 4.
16. At the end of the second 30-minute session, vacuum gel from the teeth, wipe away with gauze and rinse the
teeth while suctioning. Avoid splatter.
17. Use a shade guide arranged in bleaching order to compare the color of the whitened teeth to the original
shade recorded in Step 2 and take “after” photographs.
