Dual Cem Core for fibre post cementation: a clinical case by Dr Matías Brufman

Kiyomi — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 11:57:11 +0000

The connection between endodontics and restorative dentistry becomes particularly evident when, following root canal treatment, it is time to restore the tooth. This case by Dr Matías Brufman illustrates that continuity through the retreatment of an upper second molar and the subsequent cementation of a fibre post using Dual Cem Core from Kiyomi Dental.

The patient was referred for assessment and retreatment of tooth 2.7. After completing the endodontic treatment, the clinician placed a fibre post in the palatal canal and used Dual Cem Core for cementation. He then restored the access cavity with composite.

The relevance of this case to restorative dentistry lies precisely in this stage: the use of a dual-cure resin cement within a procedure that connects root canal treatment with coronal restoration.

The clinical case: retreatment of tooth 2.7

The report describes a previously root-treated tooth that required further intervention. The assessment recorded tenderness to percussion and palpation, apical periodontitis, no mobility or abscess, and normal periodontal probing depths.

Treatment was carried out over two appointments. At the first appointment, the gutta-percha was removed, the canals were instrumented with BlueShaper PRO, and disinfection was performed. Calcium hydroxide was placed as an intracanal dressing between appointments.

At the second appointment, the clinician recorded that the symptoms had resolved and proceeded with obturation using gutta-percha and NeoSEALER Flo from Zarc, employing a continuous wave warm obturation technique.

Once this stage was complete, the procedure continued with post placement and restoration of the access cavity, the stage at which Dual Cem Core was used.

Dual Cem Core: its role in fibre post cementation

Dr Matías Brufman placed a fibre post in the palatal canal and cemented it with Dual Cem Core. This is the specific application of the Kiyomi Dental product documented in this case.

The roles of the materials used should be distinguished: the root canal system was obturated with BlueShaper PRO gutta-percha and NeoSEALER Flo bioceramic sealer, while Dual Cem Core was subsequently used to cement the glass fibre post. The access cavity was restored with flowable and high-viscosity composite in shade A3.

This sequence illustrates the role of Dual Cem Core, a dual-cure resin cement containing inorganic fillers, within the treatment: a specific application during the restorative phase following endodontic retreatment.

What properties does Dual Cem Core offer for this application?

Dual Cem Core is a dual-cure resin cement indicated for procedures such as fibre post cementation, core build-up and deep margin elevation. Its properties provide context for its use in this case.

Dual curing

The material combines light curing and chemical curing. This dual setting mechanism is relevant to intraradicular applications, where light penetration may be limited by the depth and geometry of the canal.

A consistency that facilitates placement

Its smooth, creamy consistency supports controlled cement placement. The product is also supplied with an automix system and intracanal application tips.

Radiopacity

The radiopaque formulation allows the material to be identified on radiographs and facilitates assessment at subsequent reviews.

These properties describe the product; the case report documents its use for post cementation without specifying the curing times or adhesive protocol employed.

Access cavity restoration and restorative planning

After cementing the fibre post with Dual Cem Core, the clinician restored the access cavity using two composite consistencies: flowable and high-viscosity, in shade A3.

The treatment plan also considered full cuspal coverage with a crown. This recommendation forms part of the restorative care proposed by the clinician, based on the literature for teeth with extensive structural loss.

Case progress and follow-up

For follow-up, Dr Matías Brufman recommended clinical and radiographic reviews at 3, 6 and 12 months.

The available information describes the procedure performed and the resolution of symptoms between appointments. The recommended reviews will allow subsequent assessment of the tooth and periapical tissues.

From endodontics with Zarc to restoration with Kiyomi Dental

This case illustrates a specific application of Dual Cem Core for fibre post cementation: its use in the palatal canal of an upper molar following endodontic retreatment.

The material plays a clearly defined role within the restorative procedure. Its use connects the endodontic phase with placement of the post for intracanal retention and subsequent coronal restoration, within the treatment plan established by Dr Matías Brufman.

Teeth whitening with K-Bleach and two composite restorations: transforming a smile with fewer interventions

Kiyomi — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 07:43:27 +0000

How much can a smile change with a simplified treatment? This clinical case combines teeth whitening with K-Bleach by Kiyomi Dental and two composite restorations, achieving a result that the clinician describes as a completely different smile.

Beyond the aesthetic change, the case invites reflection on planning in restorative dentistry: taking time to observe, identifying needs and assessing which interventions can deliver a meaningful improvement.

The clinician introduces the case with a humorous reflection: “I’m becoming a ‘Buddhist’: every day, I’m content with less.” A way of expressing an idea that runs throughout the treatment: seeking a satisfying result through a limited, carefully planned intervention.

A conservative approach that begins with observation

The clinician’s satisfaction stems both from the outcome and from the simplicity of the treatment performed. His reflection highlights the importance of taking time, observing carefully and applying the clinical judgement that comes with experience.

From this perspective, simplifying treatment requires an understanding of what each case needs. The decision on how much to intervene arises from that assessment, helping to guide treatment towards specific goals.

In this case, the approach described involves just two procedures: whitening with K-Bleach and the placement of two composite restorations. This combination was enough to achieve the smile transformation highlighted by the clinician.

Teeth whitening with K-Bleach by Kiyomi Dental

Teeth whitening with K-Bleach is one of the central elements of this case. The clinician incorporates this Kiyomi Dental product into an aesthetic treatment completed with two restorations.

What makes the case interesting is how both procedures are integrated into a single treatment plan. The outcome is presented as the combined effect of the treatment, so the entire transformation cannot be attributed to either procedure alone.

The information shared does not specify which K-Bleach formulation was used or provide details of the application protocol. This case therefore focuses on the clinical approach and the outcome described by its author.

Two restorations to complete the aesthetic transformation

Alongside the whitening treatment, two additive composite restorations were placed. This detail underpins the message of the case: a localised intervention can contribute to a significant aesthetic change when it addresses the needs identified during assessment.

The author does not specify the teeth treated, the restorative material or the technique used. What he does emphasise is his deep satisfaction with the change achieved through this combination of treatments.

The case should be interpreted within that scope: it documents a specific clinical experience without establishing a protocol applicable to every smile.

Dental aesthetics: the value of simplifying with clinical judgement

One of the most interesting aspects of this clinical case involving K-Bleach is the relationship between observation and treatment. The clinician’s reflection places a keen clinical eye at the heart of simpler treatment planning.

Simplifying with clinical judgement means choosing the interventions that make sense for each case. The number of procedures performed does not, on its own, explain the value of an outcome. The ability to recognise needs and the precision with which treatment is planned also matter.

Here, whitening with K-Bleach and two additive composite restorations illustrate this treatment philosophy: two complementary procedures that, according to the clinician, achieved a completely different smile.

A different smile through limited treatment

This case of teeth whitening with K-Bleach by Kiyomi Dental and two restorations using ASTER+ composite by Kiyomi Dental highlights an approach to dental aesthetics based on observation and the careful selection of interventions.

The author’s satisfaction captures the value of this approach: taking time to assess a case and finding a simplified solution can be an essential part of clinical practice. An invitation to look at each smile carefully and let its needs guide the treatment.

Learn, practise and refine your skills with Kiyomi.

Kiyomi — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 07:59:24 +0000

Training in cosmetic dentistry in Spain has become one of the most sought-after areas among dental professionals looking to refine their clinical protocols, adopt new restorative techniques and deliver increasingly predictable, natural-looking results.

For Kiyomi, training goes beyond introducing a product. It means supporting dentists throughout the entire process: learning the techniques, understanding the materials, trying them in a practical setting and then deciding which solutions to incorporate into their practice.

That is why Kiyomi is part of a training ecosystem that brings together leading professionals, universities, training centres and professional dental associations across Spain.

Where can you find training in aesthetic dentistry in Spain?

One way to find courses and training activities associated with Kiyomi is through IPG Academy, the training hub of IPG Dental.

This section features courses organised by IPG Dental and training activities involving its various brands, including Kiyomi Dental. Current offerings include practical courses focused on restorations and clinical techniques, such as Excellence Made Easy: Posterior Restorations, taught by Dr Ricardo Recena and covering posterior composite restorations and clinical protocols for everyday practice.

Explore IPG Academy courses

This allows professionals looking for courses in aesthetic dentistry, aesthetic dentistry training for professionals or hands-on composite courses to browse the available programme and find out about upcoming courses.

A practical approach to training in aesthetic dentistry.

Cosmetic dentistry requires much more than knowing a material’s properties. What makes the difference is understanding how to use it, when to use it and how to integrate it into a clinical protocol. That is why training activities associated with Kiyomi place particular emphasis on hands-on practice.

The aim is to enable dental professionals to work on areas such as:

Selection and handling of restorative materials.
Composite layering.
Dental anatomy and reproduction of natural contours.
Shade selection.
Adhesive protocols.
Anterior and posterior restorations.
Finishing and polishing.
Optimising clinical treatment times.
Managing common situations in everyday practice.
Integrating materials and protocols into the dental practice.

During Kiyomi’s hands-on training sessions, participants can explore the brand’s solutions first-hand and work with them throughout the course. For example, IPG Academy’s posterior restorations course includes hands-on practice with Aster+, Kiyomi Dental’s composite, alongside content covering isolation, matrices, layering, anatomical sculpting, finishing and polishing.

This makes the training experience much more closely aligned with real clinical practice.

Kiyomi and Spain’s leading universities and training centres

Kiyomi develops its training strategy by collaborating with a range of dental education providers in Spain, including universities and specialist centres offering courses for dental professionals.

This presence introduces Kiyomi’s solutions to dentists looking to update their knowledge and explore new options for aesthetic and restorative dentistry.

The philosophy is simple: training first, then hands-on experience, followed by a purchasing decision.

Rather than making the purchase of materials the first step, Kiyomi encourages professionals to learn the techniques beforehand and try its solutions during practical sessions. This means that the choice of materials they later bring into their practice is grounded in real clinical experience.

Two types of training: courses organised by Kiyomi and courses delivered in collaboration

Within the programme available on IPG Academy, it is important to distinguish between two types of training.

Courses organised by Kiyomi

When Kiyomi organises a course directly, it is published on IPG Academy, and registration takes place through IPG Dental’s own platform.

Dental professionals can view the course information, including the programme, instructors, location, available places and registration terms. Registration can be completed online, and anyone with questions or seeking personalised assistance can also contact the IPG Dental team. IPG Dental makes it easy: call +34 984 491 808 or email hola@ipgdental.com. Contact IPG Dental.

Courses supported by Kiyomi

There is also another type of training: courses organised by professional associations, universities or training centres, with Kiyomi taking part as a collaborating partner.

In these cases, IPG Dental may promote the training through IPG Academy, but it is important to bear in mind that registration does not necessarily take place through IPG Dental, although our sales and customer service teams are always available to help.

When a course is organised by a third party, the relevant registration link is provided in the event information. Dental professionals must complete their registration through the website of the association, university or centre organising the activity.

This distinction makes it easy to identify where to find training information and, above all, where to register.

What does Kiyomi contribute to the courses it supports?

One of the distinguishing features of Kiyomi’s involvement in a course is the hands-on component.

This collaboration enables dental professionals to explore and use Kiyomi solutions during selected practical sessions, becoming familiar with their handling, performance and clinical application.

This experience is particularly valuable because the materials are presented beyond a purely commercial perspective: professionals can work with them, learn how to handle them and assess how they fit into their own protocols.

Kiyomi already has the support of professionals specialising in aesthetic dentistry and oral rehabilitation. These include Dr Ana Alvarado, Dr Víctor Garcías, Dr Ricardo Recena, Dr José Bahillo, Dr Joana Souza and Dr Francisco Mozón. The brand shares their experiences and testimonials about using its solutions in clinical practice.

Dr Ricardo Recena also serves as Scientific Director of Kiyomi Dental and teaches courses focused on restorative protocols.

Try before you equip your practice

One of the main advantages of this training model is that it changes the traditional decision-making process.

Instead of buying a material and then discovering whether it suits the way you work, you can learn about it and try it beforehand during hands-on training.

This is particularly useful for professionals considering new solutions for:

Aesthetic composite restorations.
Restorative dentistry.
Adhesion.
Layering.
Finishing and polishing.
Tooth whitening.
Comprehensive aesthetic protocols.

Training therefore provides an opportunity to learn the techniques while also discovering which tools can help you incorporate them into your workflow.

Learn from professionals with extensive clinical experience.

Continuing education plays a fundamental role in a constantly evolving speciality. That is why training activities associated with Kiyomi seek to involve professionals with clinical and teaching experience who can explain not only the what, but also the how and why behind each procedure.

One example is Excellence Made Easy: Posterior Restorations, led by Ricardo Recena. This hands-on, one-day course covers posterior restorations, from isolation and moisture control to adhesive protocols, composite layering, occlusal anatomy and final polishing. This approach addresses a very specific need for dentists: putting what they have learnt into practice straight away.

From training to the Kiyomi ecosystem

Your relationship with Kiyomi does not have to end when a course finishes. Training can be your first introduction to an ecosystem designed to continue supporting dental professionals afterwards.

The pathway is simple:

Learn → practise → try → incorporate → specialise.

Once professionals have explored the solutions and assessed how they work within their clinical protocols, they can purchase Kiyomi products through IPG Dental, the distributor and sales platform for the brand’s solutions.

IPG Dental presents Kiyomi as one of its own brands, specialising in aesthetic dentistry, with solutions for tooth whitening, tooth remineralisation and aesthetic restorations. Through IPG Dental, professionals can also access promotions and special offers on Kiyomi products.

Why choose training in aesthetic dentistry with Kiyomi?

f you are looking for training in aesthetic dentistry in Spain, the value of a training programme should be measured by more than its duration or the teaching team’s experience. What you can do with what you have learnt in your practice the following day also matters.

Kiyomi’s approach brings together three elements:

Training + practice + clinical solutions.

This enables dental professionals to gain knowledge, try materials and explore protocols before making decisions about the equipment and products they will use in their practice.

The IPG Academy programme also makes it possible to find different training opportunities and view upcoming courses. The currently published programme includes, for example, Kiyomi courses in cities such as Barcelona and Bilbao.

Aesthetic Reconstruction of the Anterior Teeth: Clinical Case by Dr. Víctor Garcías with Kiyomi Dental

Elisa Garcia — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 02:00:00 +0000

In aesthetic dentistry, a good result should not look like a restoration. It should blend into the smile until it becomes practically indistinguishable from the natural dentition. Based on this principle, Dr. Víctor Garcías presents a new clinical case involving the reconstruction of the anterior teeth using products from Kiyomi Dental.

“If you do it, let it look natural!”

This philosophy guides an intervention in which small changes make it possible to achieve a significant improvement. Using the Dahl Plateau technique, the treatment restored function in the anterior region and gave the smile a balanced appearance, while respecting the natural shades of the patient’s dentition.

The challenge: restoring function and natural aesthetics in the anterior region

Aesthetic reconstruction of the anterior teeth presents a dual challenge. On the one hand, proper function must be restored and, on the other, the restorations must blend naturally into the smile and the overall facial appearance.

For Dr. Víctor Garcías, reproducing what nature created is a constant pursuit. This means studying every detail of the case: shape, colour, proportions, texture and the functional relationship between the teeth.

In this treatment, the aim was not to completely transform the smile, but to intervene conservatively in order to restore what had been lost:

A proper functional relationship in the anterior region.
Greater harmony between the teeth and the face.
Shades consistent with the natural dentition.
An aesthetic result without an artificial appearance.

Functional restoration using the Dahl Plateau technique

The Dahl Plateau technique made it possible to reconstruct the anterior region and restore the so-called envelope of function. This concept refers to the space and movements made by the mandible during functional activities such as speaking or chewing.

This approach facilitates the planned restoration of the anterior region, creating the conditions required to re-establish occlusal balance. The shape of each restoration is not determined solely by aesthetic criteria: it must also integrate correctly with the patient’s mandibular dynamics.

This combination of functional planning and aesthetic restoration was essential to achieving a stable, harmonious and natural result.

Pre-restorative tooth whitening with K-Bleach Clinic and K-Bleach Home

Before beginning the restorative phase, Dr. Víctor Garcías carried out a combined tooth whitening treatment using K-Bleach Clinic and K-Bleach Home by Kiyomi Dental.

Preliminary whitening was a non-negotiable stage of the treatment plan. By initially lightening the dentition, it was possible to establish a more favourable colour base and subsequently select the restoration shades with greater precision.

The protocol combined:

K-Bleach Clinic, designed for in-office tooth whitening.
K-Bleach Home, designed to continue or complement the treatment at home under professional supervision.

The coordinated use of both products makes it possible to integrate the in-office and at-home phases within the same protocol. This approach is particularly useful when whitening forms part of a broader aesthetic rehabilitation rather than being an isolated treatment.

The key advantages of the K-Bleach system

Unlike solutions focused solely on lightening tooth colour, the K-Bleach system is designed to integrate easily into a complete aesthetic treatment plan.

K-Bleach Clinic 35% contains 0.1% nano-hydroxyapatite and vitamin E, together with a formulation designed to limit tooth dehydration. Its consistency facilitates application and allows the product to be removed easily, contributing to a more comfortable and controlled procedure for the clinician.

Meanwhile, K-Bleach Home 16% makes it possible to extend the treatment beyond the dental practice while following the dentist’s instructions. The combination provides the versatility needed to personalise the protocol according to the patient’s starting point and aesthetic goals.

Isolation of the working field with K-Dam

During adhesive and whitening procedures, control of the operating field is essential. In this case, K-Dam by Kiyomi Dental was used to protect the soft tissues and properly delimit the treatment area.

The light-curing gingival barrier facilitates precise application and helps the clinician work more safely. Its key advantage lies in how easily it can be integrated into the clinical protocol, allowing localised protection to be created exactly where it is needed.

Proper isolation not only contributes to patient protection. It also improves control over the procedure and allows the clinician to focus on each stage of the treatment.

Adhesive preparation with K-ETCH 37%

The integration of anterior restorations depends to a large extent on a properly performed adhesive protocol. For conditioning the dental surfaces, K-ETCH 37%, Kiyomi Dental’s phosphoric acid etchant, was used.

Its thixotropic behaviour enables controlled application, helping prevent the material from spreading unnecessarily into other areas. This characteristic is particularly relevant in the anterior region, where precision during etching helps protect the tissues and ensures that only the intended surfaces are conditioned.

In addition to providing uniform etching, its formulation facilitates product removal. In this way, K-ETCH 37% delivers control and simplicity during a decisive stage of the bonding procedure.

Bonding with K-Bond+ Universal

After conditioning the surfaces, K-Bond+ Universal, Kiyomi Dental’s universal adhesive, was used.

Its MDP-containing formulation allows it to be integrated into different adhesive protocols and used in a wide variety of restorative situations. Its universal nature helps simplify inventory and makes it easier for clinicians to adapt the technique to the needs of each case.

Another of its distinguishing characteristics is its colourless appearance. In anterior restorations, where any colour alteration can influence the final result, having an adhesive that does not interfere visually helps facilitate the reproduction of a natural aesthetic.

A Kiyomi protocol designed to make clinical work simpler

One of the main advantages of the products used in this case is that they do not function as isolated solutions. K-Bleach Clinic, K-Bleach Home, K-Dam, K-ETCH 37% and K-Bond+ Universal form part of a coherent protocol designed to address different stages of aesthetic-restorative treatment.

This integration provides clinical advantages such as:

Greater continuity between whitening and restoration.
Protocols that are easier to organise.
Controlled application and handling.
Compatibility between different clinical stages.
Greater attention to the final aesthetic result.
Solutions designed to simplify the dentist’s everyday work.

While many products on the market address a specific need, the Kiyomi Dental approach aims to simplify the treatment as a whole. Clinicians can work with materials developed according to the same philosophy: achieving predictable, effective procedures that are easy to incorporate into everyday clinical practice.

The result: a functional, harmonious and natural smile

The result of this clinical case demonstrates how a carefully planned intervention can produce a significant change without altering the identity of the smile.

The Dahl Plateau technique made it possible to restore function in the anterior region, while the Kiyomi Dental protocol helped prepare the tooth colour, protect the tissues and carry out the adhesive stages with precision.

The selection of shades matching the patient’s own dentition provided the final harmony required for the face. The goal was not to create a standardised smile, but rather a personalised result that reproduced the variation and natural appearance of real teeth.

The case by Dr. Víctor Garcías reflects an essential principle of contemporary restorative dentistry: achieving a significant result by intervening only where necessary, while making the outcome look as though it were created by nature.

What types of composite resin are available, and which is the most recommended for dental restorations?

Elisa Garcia — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 02:53:00 +0000

Dental composite resins are among the most widely used materials in restorative dentistry thanks to their versatility, aesthetics and ability to adapt to different clinical situations.

However, there are different types of composite resin, and understanding their differences is important when choosing the most suitable material for each restoration.

What types of composite resin are available?

Composite resins can mainly be classified according to the size and distribution of their filler particles.

Microfilled composite resins

They stand out for their polishability and good aesthetic performance, which is why they have traditionally been used especially in the anterior region.

Hybrid and microhybrid composite resins

They combine particles of different sizes to provide a balance between strength, aesthetics and ease of handling. They are versatile materials that can be used for different types of restorations.

Nanohybrid composite resins

Nanohybrid composite resins combine nanoscale particles with larger particles. This makes it possible to achieve a good balance between mechanical strength, polishability and aesthetics.

Because of their versatility, they are currently one of the most interesting options for professionals looking to buy dental composite resin for both anterior and posterior restorations.

This category includes Aster+ by Kiyomi Dental, a nanohybrid composite resin designed to integrate easily into routine restorative procedures.

Flowable composite resins

Flowable composite resins have a lower viscosity, making them easier to adapt to small cavities, hard-to-reach areas or certain minimally invasive procedures.

For these indications, solutions such as Aster Flow+ by Kiyomi Dental can complement the use of a conventional composite.

Bulk-fill composite resins

Bulk-fill composites are designed to allow thicker increments than conventional resins, provided that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

They are particularly used in certain posterior restorations where the aim is to simplify the application technique.

What is the best composite resin for dental restorations?

There is no single best dental composite resin for every case.

The choice will depend on factors such as:

The location of the restoration.
Aesthetic requirements.
Masticatory forces.
The desired viscosity.
Polishability.
The application technique.

However, nanohybrid composite resins are currently among the most versatile alternatives, as they offer a good balance between aesthetics and mechanical performance.

For this reason, they are often a common choice when looking for a professional dental composite that can be used for both anterior and posterior restorations.

Which composite resin should be used for anterior teeth?

In anterior restorations, aesthetics, polishability and the integration of the material with the natural tooth are particularly important.

Nanohybrid composite resins can provide a good combination of aesthetic and mechanical properties for this type of treatment.

And for posterior restorations?

In the posterior region, wear resistance and performance under masticatory loads become more important.

In these cases, it is advisable to choose a composite resin for posterior restorations that is specifically indicated for this type of treatment and offers suitable mechanical properties.

Conventional composite or flowable composite?

Both can complement each other.

A conventional composite provides greater control during restoration modelling, while a flowable dental composite can facilitate adaptation in certain areas.

For this reason, many dental clinics choose to have both types of composite available as part of their restorative protocol.

What should you consider when buying dental composite resin?

Before you buy dental composite, it is advisable to consider aspects such as:

Type of composite resin.
Clinical indications.
Filler content.
Handling.
Polishability.
Shade range.
Compatibility with the adhesive system.

Brands such as Kiyomi Dental offer different solutions for integrating composite materials into restorative protocols, with products such as Aster+, Aster Flow+, K-Bond+ Universal and K-ETCH 37%.

The final choice should always be based on the type of restoration and the clinical requirements of each individual case.

Internal whitening after a complex root canal treatment: Dr. Adolfo Pipa’s clinical case with K-Bleach Clinic 35%

Elisa Garcia — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 14:20:00 +0000

When you notice a change in colour in an anterior tooth, you are not always dealing solely with an aesthetic issue. In certain cases, this alteration may lead you to suspect pulp involvement that should be diagnosed before considering any whitening procedure.

This clinical case carried out by Dr. Adolfo Pipa is a good example of how you can combine endodontics and aesthetic dentistry within the same treatment plan. The treatment was performed on tooth 2.3, which presented an unusual anatomy characterised by an apical bifurcation.

After completing the root canal treatment, there was still a second objective: restoring a more harmonious shade to the tooth. To achieve this, Dr. Pipa used K-Bleach Clinic 35% by Kiyomi Dental, a professional in-office dental whitening system that can also be used for the internal whitening of root canal-treated teeth.

What can a change in tooth colour indicate?

If, during examination, you detect a noticeable change in the colour of a tooth, you should assess what may be happening at pulp level.

In this case, the colour alteration suggested possible pulp necrosis, probably related to the previous application of excessive orthodontic forces.

In addition, a further difficulty arose during treatment: a bifurcation in the apical region of the root canal.

When working in endodontics, you know that anatomical variations can influence the complexity of the treatment. Correctly identifying the canals and understanding their configuration is essential for adequate instrumentation, disinfection and obturation.

The case was carried out by Dr. Adolfo Pipa, a professional specialising in endodontics, who subsequently also addressed the aesthetic alteration of the tooth through internal whitening.

From root canal treatment to internal whitening

Once the endodontic condition has been resolved, you may still be faced with a tooth that has a different shade from the adjacent teeth.

In these cases, when the clinical conditions are appropriate, internal whitening of a root canal-treated tooth can provide a conservative alternative for modifying its colour without having to resort directly to more invasive restorative procedures.

For this stage of the case, Dr. Adolfo Pipa chose K-Bleach Clinic 35% by Kiyomi Dental.

As the doctor himself explains, when he needs to perform internal whitening, he feels comfortable working with K-Bleach Clinic 35% because of its ease of use. In this particular case, the treatment also made it possible to achieve the desired result in a single appointment.

K-Bleach Clinic 35%: a professional solution for your dental practice

If you are looking for a professional dental whitening product that can be used on both vital and root canal-treated teeth, K-Bleach Clinic 35% has been specifically formulated for clinical use.

Its formula contains 35% hydrogen peroxide and is designed to allow you to work in a controlled manner throughout the procedure.

Beyond its concentration, K-Bleach Clinic incorporates a number of distinctive features that can help you simplify the whitening protocol in your practice.

35% hydrogen peroxide for professional use

K-Bleach Clinic contains 35% hydrogen peroxide and is therefore intended for whitening procedures carried out by professionals.

If you are looking for a 35% dental whitening gel for in-office use, this system allows you to carry out short clinical sessions and achieve visible shade changes from the first applications, always depending on the characteristics of each case.

It can also be used both for external whitening of vital teeth and for internal whitening of non-vital or root canal-treated teeth.

This versatility allows you to use the same product in different clinical situations.

Dual-syringe system for easier application

One of the distinctive features of K-Bleach Clinic 35% is its dual-syringe system.

This format allows you to obtain a homogeneous mixture of the components before application and provides greater control over the amount of product used during the procedure.

If you regularly carry out whitening treatments in your practice, having a system that is simple to prepare and apply can help you optimise your clinical protocol and work more comfortably.

0.1% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles

K-Bleach Clinic contains 0.1% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles in its formulation.

This component is designed to help protect the tooth surface during treatment and promote surface remineralisation.

Therefore, when choosing a professional dental whitening product, you should not only consider the concentration of the whitening agent. You can also take into account the additional components included in its formulation and the benefits they provide during treatment.

Vitamin E to improve comfort during treatment

The K-Bleach Clinic formula is also enriched with vitamin E.

The combination of vitamin E and hydroxyapatite is designed to help reduce discomfort associated with treatment and improve patient comfort.

If you are looking to introduce a dental whitening system into your practice, these types of features can be particularly relevant when you want to balance effectiveness, ease of use and patient experience.

Reduced dehydration during the procedure

During a whitening treatment, you should also take into account temporary tooth dehydration, as this can influence both the immediate perception of colour and patient comfort.

K-Bleach Clinic incorporates a formulation designed to minimise dental dehydration during the procedure.

This allows you to work with a system developed not only to achieve a whitening effect, but also to provide greater clinical control throughout the treatment.

Why choose K-Bleach Clinic 35% for internal whitening?

If you perform endodontic treatments or see patients with non-vital teeth presenting colour alterations, you need specific solutions for these types of situations.

With K-Bleach Clinic 35%, you have a product that can be integrated into your professional whitening protocols and that brings together several relevant features:

35% hydrogen peroxide for professional use.
Indicated for vital and non-vital teeth.
Suitable for internal whitening of root canal-treated teeth.
Dual-syringe system to facilitate mixing and application.
0.1% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles.
Formula enriched with vitamin E.
Short clinical sessions.
Developed to help reduce sensitivity and minimise dehydration during treatment.
Easy handling, one of the aspects highlighted by Dr. Adolfo Pipa in this clinical case.

In the case presented, Dr. Pipa was able to incorporate internal whitening after completing the endodontic treatment of tooth 2.3 and achieve the desired result in a single appointment.

Internal whitening as a conservative option after root canal treatment

When you are faced with a root canal-treated tooth that has changed colour, you do not always need to immediately resort to an indirect restoration to improve its appearance.

If the diagnosis and clinical conditions allow it, internal dental whitening can help you achieve a more harmonious shade while preserving as much of the existing tooth structure as possible.

Therefore, before considering a restorative solution, you can assess whether internal whitening could correct the colour alteration in a more conservative way.

Dr. Adolfo Pipa’s case illustrates precisely this sequence: first, the underlying cause is addressed through endodontic treatment of a complex anatomy with an apical bifurcation, and then the aesthetics are restored through an internal whitening procedure.

Are you looking for a professional dental whitening system for your practice?

If you are looking to buy a professional dental whitening system, need a 35% whitening gel for dentists, or want to introduce a product into your practice that can also be used on root canal-treated teeth, K-Bleach Clinic 35% is a solution specifically developed for clinical use.

Its combination of 35% hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyapatite, vitamin E and dual-syringe technology provides you with a versatile system that is easy to integrate into your whitening protocols.

With K-Bleach Clinic 35% by Kiyomi Dental, you can carry out both external whitening treatments and internal whitening cases, such as the one performed by Dr. Adolfo Pipa, while maintaining a conservative approach designed to simplify your clinical practice.

Whitening of a tooth darkened by calcific metamorphosis

Elisa Garcia — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 02:30:00 +0000

Dr Irene Boullosa presents the clinical case of a 22-year-old patient who attended the clinic concerned about the progressive darkening of an anterior incisor. The tooth discoloration was her main concern, as it affected the aesthetic harmony of her smile.

Following a complete clinical and radiographic examination, Dr Irene Boullosa diagnosed pulp calcific metamorphosis, also known as root canal obliteration. The tooth showed no symptoms or signs of periapical pathology.

Given the absence of pain and the almost complete obliteration of the canal, endodontic treatment was initially ruled out. Instead, a more conservative alternative was selected: a combined external tooth whitening protocol, carried out both in-office and at home.

Diagnosis of the darkened incisor

During the examination of the anterior incisor, the following findings were observed:

Progressive darkening of the dental crown.

Absence of spontaneous pain.

Absence of pain on percussion.

Negative response to the cold sensitivity test.

Almost complete obliteration of the root canal.

Absence of apical periodontitis.

A lack of response to sensitivity tests can be common in teeth affected by calcific metamorphosis and, on its own, does not necessarily indicate the need for root canal treatment.

In this case, the tooth remained asymptomatic and the periapical tissues appeared radiographically healthy. For this reason, Dr Irene Boullosa opted for a minimally invasive alternative that could improve the tooth shade without removing dental tissue or accessing the root canal system.

Treatment with combined tooth whitening

The treatment involved a combination of professional in-office whitening and an at-home protocol using custom-made trays.

During the first appointment, an intraoral scan was performed to produce the trays for at-home tooth whitening.

At the second appointment, professional in-office whitening was carried out under rubber dam isolation in order to adequately protect the soft tissues and control the application of the whitening gel.

The protocol performed by Dr Irene Boullosa included:

Placement of a rubber dam.

Protection of the soft tissues with K-DAM by Kiyomi Dental.

Application of K-BLEACH CLINIC whitening gel.

Three consecutive 15-minute cycles.

Delivery of the custom-made trays.

Delivery of two syringes of gel to complete the at-home treatment.

The combination of both phases made it possible to carry out a progressive and controlled treatment adapted to the specific characteristics of the darkened tooth.

K-DAM: gingival barrier for tooth whitening

K-DAM is a light-curable gingival barrier designed to protect the soft tissues during professional tooth whitening procedures.

One of its main characteristics is its high thixotropy, which facilitates precise application and helps keep the product in the desired area without flowing or spreading into other parts of the operating field.

Its main advantages include:

Direct and controlled application.

Good sealing and protection of the soft tissues.

High thixotropy.

Rapid light-curing.

Easy removal once the treatment has been completed.

These characteristics make K-DAM a suitable solution for professionals looking for a gingival barrier that is easy to handle and adapts well to the clinical field during tooth whitening procedures.

K-BLEACH CLINIC: 35% professional whitening gel

K-BLEACH CLINIC is a professional tooth whitening system formulated with 35% hydrogen peroxide, specifically developed for in-office treatments.

In the case presented by Dr Irene Boullosa, three consecutive 15-minute applications produced a visible whitening effect from the very first session.

The main distinguishing features of K-BLEACH CLINIC include:

35% hydrogen peroxide.

Dual-syringe system for a homogeneous mixture.

Controlled dispensing to reduce product waste.

0.1% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles.

Vitamin E.

Clinical protocol based on 15-minute cycles.

K-BLEACH CLINIC is indicated for dentists looking for a professional whitening gel with controlled application and a simple, fast and effective clinical protocol.

Tooth whitening results

At the review appointment two weeks after treatment, a noticeable aesthetic improvement was observed.

The incisor changed from an initial A3.5 shade to A1, according to the VITA Classical shade guide. The patient reported a high level of satisfaction with the result and experienced no tooth sensitivity or other treatment-related complications.

Three months later, Dr Irene Boullosa carried out a new clinical and radiographic review, which confirmed that:

The achieved shade remained stable.

The patient remained asymptomatic.

The periapical tissues remained radiographically healthy.

There were no signs of apical periodontitis.

The stability of the result and absence of complications supported the choice of a conservative treatment for this case.

A conservative alternative for darkened teeth

The clinical case carried out by Dr Irene Boullosa shows how combined external tooth whitening can be a conservative alternative for teeth affected by calcific metamorphosis, provided that they show no symptoms or periapical pathology.

The combined use of K-DAM as a gingival barrier and K-BLEACH CLINIC as a professional whitening gel made it possible to improve the shade of the incisor without performing dental preparation or accessing the root canal.

This approach helped preserve dental tissue while addressing the patient’s main aesthetic concern through a minimally invasive procedure.

Professionals interested in incorporating solutions for professional tooth whitening can explore the Kiyomi Dental range, which includes products for in-office treatments, at-home protocols and soft-tissue protection.

Clinical note: treatment indication should be established following a complete clinical and radiographic examination. Teeth affected by calcific metamorphosis should undergo regular follow-up to assess their progression and detect any possible clinical or periapical changes.
