title: An overview on the Effects of 10% and 15% Carbamide Peroxide and its Relationship to Dentine Sensitivity.
abstract: The purpose of this overview was to review the available literature to determine if there was any evidence that the application of 10% and 15% carbamide peroxide in tooth whitening procedures resulted in tooth (dentine) sensitivity. The conclusions from the review would indicate that tooth whitening with either 10% or 15% carbamide peroxide is an effective and safe treatment when under a dental professionals' supervision. Reported side-effects were considered mild to moderate in nature and were transient in duration. Reported incidences of dentine sensitivity range from 15-65% of patients using 10% carbamide peroxide.
