“…Upon closer examination, 22 of these studies were excluded for the following reasons: in 8 studies, no pigments were used during or after the bleaching process [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], 5 studies lacked a control group [14,16,[36][37][38], in 4 studies, the color difference, luminosity or whiteness index was not calculated [4,[39][40][41], in 4 studies, the full text could not be retrieved [42][43][44][45], and 1 study was a review [23]. This process left 17 documents eligible for qualitative analysis: 5 clinical trials [46][47][48][49][50] and 12 in vitro studies [21,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61].…”

The aim of this investigation was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the necessity of a white diet during or following a bleaching procedure. This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the PRISMA guidelines meticulously. The research question was: Is a white diet necessary during and/or after a bleaching treatment? In vitro studies or clinical trials reporting the color change in bleached enamel after the use of a free-staining diet were considered for full-text review. For the analyses, a random-effects model was employed. Statistical significance was defined as a p-value < 0.05. A total of 17 documents were eligible for qualitative analysis: 5 clinical trials and 12 in vitro studies. Only data from the clinical trials were included in the meta-analysis. For at-home bleaching, differences in the color among the subjects were not statistically significant during the first (p = 0.64), second (p = 0.26) or third (p = 0.43) weeks of treatment. Also, the color difference one month after finishing the bleaching treatment were not statistically significant (p = 0.27). The color difference one month after finishing an in-office treatment showed that the restrictions on diet did not significantly improve the bleaching outcomes (p = 0.90). According to the findings of this review, dietary restrictions are not necessary during or after bleaching procedures.
