Public demand for aesthetic dentistry, including tooth whitening and conservative restoration of fractured tooth, has increased in recent years. Dental bleaching offers a conservative, simplified, and low cost approach to change the color of discoloured teeth. The pigments oxidation is responsible for tooth bleaching and can be carried out with two different products; carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide.
