Whitening Efficacy of 3% Carbamide Peroxide Gel Activated by Lactoperoxidase

Clinical evaluation of two carbamide peroxide tooth-whitening agents.

A blinded study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a dentist-prescribed, accelerated carbamide peroxide tooth-whitening system. Fifty-one patients with discolored teeth completed a clinical trial using an overnight bleaching regimen. One group used an experimental bleaching (whitening) regimen with 10% carbamide peroxide bleaching paste, and another group used the Colgate Plat...

Cytotoxicity of carbamide peroxide bleaching gel on L929 cells

Methods: Three concentrations of carbamide peroxide (10%, 16%, and 22%) used in home bleaching techniques were evaluated regarding their cytotoxic effect on gingival tissues. The materials were divided into three groups as follows: Group C10 (White Gold Home 10%, Dentsply), Group C16 (White Gold Home 16%, Dentsply, and Group C22 (Nite White 22%, ACP Discus Dental). The cytotoxicity essay was ca...

Tooth bleaching by different concentrations of carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide whitening strips: an in vitro study.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the tooth whitening effects of various concentrations of carbamide peroxide (CP) gels and 6% hydrogen peroxide (HP) whitening strips used on an intrinsic, in vitro stain model in a simulated home-applied bleaching protocol. METHOD Extracted third molars were sectioned and stained to Vita shade C4 using a standardized tea solution. Stained specimens were then bleached ...

Effects of Carbamide Peroxide Bleaching Gel on Color of Silorane- and Methacrylate-based Resin Composites

Introdouction: Bleaching has become a common treatment for improving the appearance of natural teeth. However, the need to protect dental restorations from bleaching agent exposure is inevitable, as these agents may change the color of restorative materials by oxidation. Filtek P90 composite resin has recently been introduced with the aim of decreasing polymerization shrinkage. The purpose of...
