The effects of bleaching application time on the dental pulp.
This study evaluated and compared pulpal responses of teeth exposed to a 10 percent carbamide peroxide bleaching gel using short and extended application times. Of 28 subjects, four discontinued use because of thermal sensitivity. For the remaining participants, there was no difference between the pulpal readings recorded before the use of the gel or at any point during the study.
