The term refers to a digital document, typically in Portable Document Format, that provides guidance on the proper use of a specific dental procedure. This procedure is a type of in-office tooth bleaching system that employs a light-activated hydrogen peroxide gel to lighten tooth enamel. Such a document commonly includes step-by-step directions, safety precautions, and post-treatment care recommendations.
These instructional materials are vital for both dental professionals administering the treatment and patients undergoing the procedure. Their use helps ensure consistent and effective results while minimizing the risk of complications such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. Historically, printed versions were standard, but the convenience and accessibility of digital formats have made these documents increasingly prevalent.
