Clinical Overview
Opalescence Boost PF is a chemically‑activated, in‑office whitening system containing 40 % hydrogen peroxide combined with potassium nitrate and fluoride (“PF” formulation) to support enamel remineralization and reduce sensitivity. The double‑syringe system ensures fresh activation immediately prior to use, requiring no light or heat activation. OpalDam Green is a resin barrier material to protect soft tissues during whitening.
Key Benefits
- Rapid whitening: Two to three 20‑minute applications provide noticeable shade improvement in approximately 40–60 minutes.
- Chemical activation: Eliminates need for light curing, simplifying procedure and reducing discomfort.
- PF formulation: Includes potassium nitrate and fluoride to enhance patient comfort and minimize post-treatment sensitivity.
- High viscosity, stable gel: Non‐running consistency allows precise placement and easy visual control for complete removal.
- OpalDam Green barrier: Protects gingival tissue from peroxide exposure and is easy to place/remove.
- Hygiene‑optimized: Designed for single‑patient use; vegan, gluten‑free and certified safe.

- Applications: Apply gel for 20 minutes per application; perform 2–3 applications per visit, total 40–60 minutes. Maximum 3 applications per session.
- Post-gel rinse: Remove gel by suction (use Luer Vacuum Adapter or SST tip); do not rinse during applications. After final application rinse thoroughly.
Indications
- Chairside in-office bleaching for single or full-arch cases
- Suitable for intrinsic stains from age, genetics, medication, or vital teeth whitening
- One‑visit whitening when immediate esthetics are desired
Instructions for Use
- Isolate teeth; place OpalDam Green along gingival margins using syringe and Black Mini tip.
- Attach mixing or dispensing tips; mix two parts of Boost gel per labeled ratio just before placement.
- Apply Boost gel to labial tooth surfaces (0.5–1.0 mm thickness).
- Allow gel to act for 20 minutes; suction gel after application—do not rinse.
- Repeat application up to 3 rounds per visit, ensuring operators observe total time limit.
- After last application, suction and rinse thoroughly with air/water spray and high‑volume suction.
- Remove OpalDam barrier using explorer; check all soft tissue areas for remnants and clean.
- Evaluate shade. If further whitening desired and clinically appropriate, schedule repeat session in 3–5 days or prescribe take‑home whitening.
