A new bleaching technique has emerged called Deep Bleaching. The name is coined after the inventor, Rod Kurthy, a full-time practicing dentist who spent hundreds of hours in clinical testing of this technique. Rod Kurthy is also a primary clinical product tester for several major dental product manufacturers. The Deep bleach technique is so powerful, it can whiten tetracycline stained teeth and, in some occasions, even veneered teeth.
This procedure involves two power bleaching appointments a week apart, and a home tray in between. For the power appointments, a powerful 9% hydrogen peroxide solution is used and a 16% carbamide peroxide solution is used for the home tray. Depending on the case on the desires of the dentist, on the second visit either the same 9% Hydrogen Peroxide is used, or DeepBleachingMax is used, which is 27% Hydrogen Peroxide. D-Senz-2 is applied after the power bleaching process to help de-sensitize the teeth and seal them from decreased rebound. However, like any teeth whitening procedure, teeth sensitivity is expected with this process. Remember, even with over-the-counter bleaching products, acute painful sensitivity can become an issue.
The split-arch clinical studies showed that nearly all felt sensitivity on the side without desensitizers, but two out of three felt no sensitivity on the other side where the desensitizers were used. The one out of three that did feel sensitivity only felt between 8% - 10% of what they felt on the other side of their mouths. But it is very important for any reader to understand that this does not mean there will never be pain. Some patients are so sensitive that they can't even handle whitestrips on their teeth for than two or three minutes without pain. So even at only 10% of the typical sensitivity, these super-sensitive patients may still feel some dismofot.
No light is necessary with this technique. Tests have been done with and without light activation and no differences have been seen. To support this contention, researchers at
CRA have consistently stated that bleaching is a function of the concentration of the bleach and the length of time that the bleach stays on the teeth. Additionally, they contend that a light has minimal to no effect on the bleaching process.
In some cases, porcelain veneers can be revitalized with the deep bleach technique. Sometimes the tooth structure under a veneer can darken over time (over 10 years) which can cause a significant shade difference. A cosmetic dentist usually replaces the veneer when this happens. However, since natural tooth structure is accessible through the back of a veneeer, it is possible to create "brighter" looking veneers with deep bleaching.
Rod's Deep Bleach technique is still very new to the dental community. Not every dentist offers this service, so do your research. Expect to pay up to $1,500 for this procedure.
The system is now being sold under the name KoR Whitening Deep Bleaching.

Wow, great to hear your enthusiasm!! All you've got to do is log onto www.DeepBleaching.com
There is already a lot of info posted at the site, however we're in the process of updating the site right now, and within a week or two we will have a LOT of information up.
We will also have a consumer side of the site. We're getting a lot of excitement lately from the public. The great thing is that Deep BleachingTM is what most patients are really looking for.
They want a technique that is predictable, that gets EVERYBODY white. They want to still be able to consume their red wine, coffee, tea, etc., and STILL have their teeth PERMANENTLY white. They want something that's entirely safe. They want something that will bleach teech anywhere from the ages of 14 through 100 successfully. They want a technique that allows even people with very sensitive teeth to bleach. They want beautiful, white and NATURAL LOOKING teeth.
And that's Deep Bleaching. What it is NOT is the easiest bleaching. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There is no such thing as a fast and easy bleaching technique that does all this.
Deep Bleaching MUST be precise. It takes longer for both patient and dental office. There are two in-office procedures after the super-precise Deep Bleaching Trays are fabricated. There are 14 nights of bleaching in-between the two in-office procedures. And there are several 'twists' during the entire treatment phase that result in the explosion of whiteness.
The great thing is that virtually every patient who has Deep Bleaching ends up incredibly exicted and very happy that they selected Deep Bleaching. Unlike so many bleaching techniques you read about on the Internet and read comments from consumers about on the Internet, it is genuinely the real deal.
Very best,
Rod Kurthy

Here at Dawson we would like to find out where you are offering the course(s) for Deep Bleaching and which Dentists offer this service in the GTA Greater Toronto Area?
For Dr. Schwartz -- no, once he owns a manual, updated manuals are free. The only charge would be the cost of shipping.
As far as holding classes, I do lecture on the topic, but actual training is via the training manual. This is not only where you learn the technique, but it is a resource manual to look up information when needed, for ongoing training of new staff, etc.
As far as costs, some dentists do charge $1,500, but I'd say that the overall average for dentists to charge is $1,500.
For the comment by Bob Snellgrove above, even $1,500 certainly is not a gouge. You're obviously not a dentist and do not understand the extreme overhead in a dental practice. Most dentists charge $500-$750 for a single-visit bleaching treatment. Most dentists charge about $400 for at-home bleaching when they're using high quality bleaching trays and high quality bleaching gels. For KoR Deep Bleaching, there are two in-office visits PLUS at-home bleaching. The trays are far and above more precise than any other bleaching tray, and cost the dentist a substantial lab and shipping fee to have them made, or a very substantial amount of time, effort and cost to make them in their own practices. The bleaching gels are the first gels ever to be refrigerated from the instant of manufacture until the instant the dental practice or patient uses them. The treatment also includes costly desensitizers that typically cost $135 for just 10ml for the dentist to buy similar products from other companies. This system is the only system in the world to use two different desenstizers to actually block the pores of the teeth (dentinal tubules) to block sensitivity. Most don't have desensitizers, and most that do simply use potassium nitrate that does NOT plug the pores.
This system is so effective that it is the ONLY system in the world acknowledged to even whiten tetracycline stains, previously thought to be impossible to bleach. This means that this is the most effective (by far) system, it is permanent with easy periodic at-home maintenance, and you do NOT have to give up your coffee, tea and red wine. For the expenses incurred by the dentist, for the time and work put in for the dentist, even at $1,500 this is certainly no "gouge". It's totally apples and oranges.
In fact, the KoR Deep Bleaching system was recently (last month) given the highest rating of ANY consumable product in dentistry by The Dental Product Shopper, unbiased evaluation by their dentist evaluators. The highest rating ever received by ANY consumable dental product was a 4.7 (out of a possible 5). KoR Deep Bleaching received a 4.8. The closest any teeth whitening system has ever come is a 4.2. These are unbiased testing and reviews and companies have absolutely no control over the testing whatsoever.
To find dentists who perform the KoR Deep Bleaching, there is a dentist finder at the website, www.KORwhitening.com. All you have to do is put in your zip code. For those outside the USA, this same website will locate dentists outside the USA.
I hope that I've been able to answer the questions, and I'm sorry that I did not see the questions before.
Thanks,
Dr. Rod Kurthy
