Whiteness HP Maxx is a dental gel total that is used to restore the white color of teeth. This product contains hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is used as a bleaching agent at 35% used for vital and non-vital teeth. The first step of using this step involves prophylaxis of the teeth to remove biofilm. The next step involves identifying and recording the teeth shade. The next step involves the insertion of Arcflex lips retractor to facilitate access to the buccal cavity after this step, apply to desensitize KF2% for about ten minutes and the teeth to be whitened. The next step involves removing the gel and then using air jets to dry the teeth and gum. Next, use light-curing resin for isolation. The last step involves mixing 3 drops of peroxide and one drop of thickener this is the ratio suitable for one tooth. It is necessary to shake well this mixture to homogenize it before application.

Opallis dental material on the other hand contains composite resin. There are various uses of this material and they include the restoration of anterior teeth of class III, IV and V, bonding fragments, and reduction and closure of diastema. To effectively use opallis and individual first needs to select a shade through prophylaxis. The teeth need to be clean and hydrated at the same time. Then the cavity is prepared and protected from contamination and isolated. The next step involves the application of phosphoric acid and then a dental adhesive. The next step involves the insertion of alight cure composite using an increment technique to facilitate the better performance of the material, it is necessary that an increment of about 1.5 mm needs to be inserted in the cavity and then light-cured for a specific time required for each shade. The last step involves incrementally filling the gap until it is filled ( MedicalExpo, 2020).

What surprised most about the product SDS description is that it had all the information concerning hazards in each section, and how it has listed the various measures that are necessary to mitigate each hazard.

From this assignment, I have learned the various sections and what they represent in ensuring safety. I can apply the information I collected in my clinical setting to ensure the safety of the staff and patients. Additionally, from this week’s topic, I have learned of the necessary precautions that need to be taken to ensure safety.
