Daily use of whitening strips on tetracycline-stained teeth: comparative results after 2 months

Gerard Kugel et al. Compend Contin Educ Dent. 2002 Jan.

Abstract

This article reviews the efficacy of a new 6.5% hydrogen peroxide tooth-whitening gel strip for bleaching teeth that have been intrinsically stained from tetracycline. Given the severity of staining in the cases presented during a recently conducted clinical trial, the resulting efficacy is dramatic. Additionally, the continuous use of these strips for 30 minutes per day, twice daily for 2 months with no meaningful adverse effects is noteworthy.
