    Objective: To determine the level of dental sensitivity after in-office teeth whitening in patients aged 18 to 50 years in Lima, 2023. Material and methods: In this study, 40 patients of both sexes, aged between 18 and 50 years, who visited the dental office for in-office whitening treatment, will be selected. The upper arch will be treated with Whiteness HP Maxx, consisting of 35% hydrogen peroxide, and the lower arch will be treated with Power Bleaching Office 37%, consisting of 37% carbamide peroxide. The Visual Analog Scale will be used to measure dental sensitivity. Results: Dental sensitivity was observed after in-office whitening in patients aged 18 to 50 years in Lima using 35% hydrogen peroxide and 37% carbamide peroxide. A significant difference in dental sensitivity levels was found after in-office whitening, depending on the duration of exposure to the bleaching agent. Conclusion: Both 35% hydrogen peroxide and 37% carbamide peroxide caused dental sensitivity, mostly at a mild level. A significant difference in dental sensitivity was observed depending on exposure time and age group.
