Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to study the efficacy and safety of 6% hydrogen peroxide gel as a daily home tooth bleaching gel. The subjects consisted of 20 male dental students representing a variety of acquired stain and each subject participated for a 4-week period. Tooth color analysis(Shade determination), sulcus bleeding index, probing depth and probing attachment level were done and recorded at baseline and at the end of each week of study. The results indicated that home bleaching gel containing 6% hydrogen peroxide was effective and caused no gingival inflammation. Sulcus bleeding index, probing depth and probing attachment level showed no change. In conclusion, 6% hydrogen peroxide gel is an effective and safe agent for daily home tooth bleaching.
