Book cover Tooth Whitening

Abstract

In this chapter, the step-by-step procedure of in-office whitening (or in-office bleaching) and the efficacy and side effects of this bleaching modality will be presented. Other characteristics of this protocol such as the number of clinical appointments required to achieve effective whitening, concentration of the bleaching products, the effects of dentin dehydration and demineralization on the final outcome, as well as bleaching-induced tooth sensitivity will be addressed. At the end, some frequently asked questions will be answered.
