Aim: This randomizes clinical trial evaluated of color change, rebound effect and tooth sensitivity associated with power and at-home bleaching techniques. Methods and Materials: Anterior teeth of twenty volunteers were randomized into two balanced groups (n=20) ; Power and at-home bleaching. Color was recorded before bleaching ,immediately after bleaching, at two weeks, one, three and six mont...

CONTEXT The possibility of bleaching vital teeth with peroxide-based products considerably revolutionized esthetic dentistry.

The aim of this study was to determine heritability estimates of treatment responses to a 10% hydrogen peroxide strip-based whitening system in twins. Eighty-five twin pairs were randomly assigned to 10% hydrogen peroxide whitening strips or placebo strips without peroxide. Both twins (monozygotic or dizygotic) received the same treatment. Maxillary teeth were treated for 30 minutes twice daily...
