    Bleaching lightens the color of teeth by applying a chemical agent that oxidizes the organic pigments in teeth. Common bleaching agents include hydrogen peroxide at concentrations from 5-35%, sodium perborate, and carbamide peroxide from 3-45%. The mechanism of bleaching involves degrading high molecular weight stain molecules into lower molecular weight products that reflect less light, reducing tooth discoloration.

    BLEACHING

    Definition: Bleaching is defined as lightening of the colour of the tooth through the application of a
    chemical agent to oxidize the organic pigmentation in the tooth .
    BLEACHING AGENTS
    Hydrogen peroxide 5-35 %
    Sodium perborate
    Carbamide peroxide 3-45 %

    MECHANISM OF BLEACHING:Degradation of high molecular weight


    complex organic molecules that reflect
    a specific wavelength of light, that is
    responsible for colour of stain. The
    degraded products are of low molecular
    weight that reflect less light resulting in
    reduced discoloration.
