Abstract
Objective: Besides the prevention of caries and periodontitis, an increasing number of oral care products focus on teeth whitening. Nowadays, teeth whitening is considered as one of the most common and inexpensive method for treating discoloration of teeth. Dental esthetics has become a great importance to majority of the people; and discoloration of even a single tooth can negatively influence the quality of life. The aim of this review is to summarize the frequently used whitening procedures.
Data: Data was obtained using the following keywords: tooth whitening, tooth bleaching, color, whitening concentration, and success rates.
Sources: In formulating this review, only English-language articles available electronically were selected. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed and Scopus databases. A separate search was made on a Google Search Engine. The references from the reviewed material were used to locate other relevant publications.
Study Selection: A total of 50 articles were included in this review after reviewing the literature that resulted from the initial search.
Conclusion: Tooth whitening procedures have proven to be a conservative and viable option for improving dental esthetics.
Clinical Significance: It is crucial for dentists to have a solid awareness of tooth whitening methods, their unique indications, potential side effects, and restrictions given the rising demand for aesthetic treatment among dental patients. These procedures offer a substantially less invasive method of enhancing dental aesthetics.
Keywords: Discoloration, peroxide, stain, tooth whitening
