Bleaching the natural dentition to match the color of existing restorations: case reports.
Vital tooth bleaching has become a popular and successful treatment. This treatment may be performed under controlled conditions in the dental office or it may be used under monitored, prescribed conditions with a 10% or 15% carbamide peroxide solution, applied by the patient at home. This paper presents the use of both types of systems in a unique application to modify the color of the natural dentition to match that of existing restorations.
