  • Dental Aesthetics

Background:

  • Dental bleaching has faced legislative hurdles but is now approved in the UK.
  • Hydrogen peroxide is a well-established agent for tooth whitening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current hydrogen peroxide bleaching methods for discolored teeth.
  • To highlight the conservative nature of tooth bleaching.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of vital and non-vital bleaching techniques.
  • Overview of available hydrogen peroxide bleaching systems.

Main Results:

  • Hydrogen peroxide is considered safe for aesthetic improvement of discolored teeth.
  • Bleaching is a conservative dental procedure.
