title: A 6-year recall study of clinically chemically bleached teeth.
abstract: Chemical bleaching of discolored teeth gives a 45% rate of success after 6 years. While chemical bleaching will usually give adequate color for sufficient time for the gingival margin to stabilize in a young tooth, chemical bleaching cannot be recommended as a permanent treatment in an adult tooth.
