Effects of elevated hydrogen peroxide ‘strip’ bleaching on surface and subsurface enamel including subsurface histomorphology, micro-chemical composition and fluorescence changes
Effects of elevated hydrogen peroxide ‘strip’ bleaching on surface and subsurface enamel including subsurface histomorphology, micro-chemical composition and fluorescence changes - Neat primary literature from the Journal of Dentistry, studying the effects of strip bleaching (whitening) on tooth health. Good news for those who whiten: no changes were seen in surface histomorphology, tooth hardness, or chemical composition. It seems that this paper comes after research in the same area, which found the same thing. Tooth whitening does seem pretty safe.
