Bleaching treatment conducted with two home bleaching agents (Opalescence 10%, Ultradent, and Hi-Lite II, Shofu) had no adverse effects on enamel microhardness or on surface morphology. Bleaching with 3% hydrogen peroxide can have a negative effect on enamel hardness and surface morphology when performed as described in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
