Surface analysis of bovine teeth submitted to dental bleaching: in vitro study

Tooth whitening is a procedure that lightens the color of a tooth by applying a chemical agent to oxidize the organic pigmentation of the tooth. The agents hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are oxidizing agents, which, after diffusion, dissociate to produce free radicals that affect pigmented organic molecules. Objective: To evaluate the action of bleaching agents on the dental surface of bovine teeth. Through an in vitro laboratory experiment, the actio
