title: Clinical evaluation of a 15% in-office hydrogen peroxide tooth-whitening touch-up agent.
abstract: The success of tooth whitening has increased public demand for quicker results of the tooth-whitening process. More and more patients are opting for in-office treatments, if available, to expedite the process, and they are looking for ways to re-whiten quickly when they feel their teeth have reverted from their after-treatment results. This article will discuss the use of a commercially available product as a touch-up procedure for patients who had been previously treated with a 2-week carbamide peroxide whitening regimen.
