Main Results:

  • Tooth bleaching techniques are highly effective for improving tooth aesthetics.
  • The safety of bleaching agents, especially those for home administration, requires further investigation.
  • Independent research on the long-term effects of home-use bleaching agents on oral tissues is notably lacking.

Conclusions:
