Eficacia de los tipos de blanqueamiento dental.

Abstract

Tooth whitening is a dynamic process that seeks to eliminate stains from the dental structure through the use of chemicals. The objective of the study is to identify the types of treatments that generate better effectiveness in tooth whitening on vital teeth. A systematic review of articles published between 2019 and 2024 was used to prepare this research work. The results obtained showed that a difference was found between the groups of the different techniques; Over-the-counter bleaches, despite having a rapid initial action, reach their ceiling relatively soon. Its effectiveness is barely noticeable and definitely inferior to that of other professional teeth whitening methods. Therefore, they can only be considered as a complementary way to keep teeth whiter, mainly preventing recurrent tooth discoloration. In conclusion, teeth whitening can be performed in the office or at home, however, it is not possible to compare the same treatments for personal use, especially in terms of concentrations of the active ingredients.
