This review was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of light activation on in-office dental bleaching in terms of color change and photosensitivity with available literature evidence.
Materials And Methods:
The articles were searched from MEDLINE/Pubmed and Journal of Web, which were published from 2001 to 2019.
Results:
Out of the 124 references obtained, 13 articles in English language were read in full, which fulfilled the inclusion criteria.

Light activation of hydrogen peroxide on in-office dental bleaching does not affect effectiveness of bleach.
