| Outcome this study informs | Pooled effect | Evidence | Certainty |
|---|---|---|---|
Colour change / camouflage of white spot lesions (reduction of colour disparity between carious and sound enamel) Tooth bleaching (carbamide or hydrogen peroxide; home and/or in-office) vs No bleaching (untreated control) | The results showed that bleaching of WSL can diminish colour disparities between carious and non-affected areas, but the certainty of the evidence was very low. | 3 studies | Ungraded |
Colour disparity between carious and non-affected enamel Bleaching vs No bleaching or alternative control · Varied; 28 days in the RCT | no estimate extracted | 3 studies | Ungraded |
