Bleaching is the act or process of removing stains or color by chemical means using usually OXIDIZING AGENTS. CORONAL bleaching is the same thing, but carried out within the crowns of PULPLESS teeth, and often in combination with heat or UV light. The material used generally is 30% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. HOME BLEACHING KITS are a relatively recent addition to products available to the general public. There are also several types for use in the dental office, and they all work on a similar principal in which the solution or gel of the bleaching agent is held on the teeth for a period of time, which varies from one product to another, in a TRAY or special form which fits over the teeth. There is a risk of damage to the health of the teeth and gums with overuse, and the possibility of the teeth becoming more sensitive is also high. The results of home bleaching are usually of limited duration, so the process may need to be repeated, but many people are satisfied with the results they get. Caution should also be exercised with existing RESTORATIONS in the mouth, which may be damaged or bleached at a different rate to the tooth substance.
