RAMOS, Amanda Barreto; MONNERAT, Antônio Fernando  e  PEREZ, Cesar dos Reis. Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Dental Whitening Strips. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2014, vol.71, n.2, pp. 198-202. ISSN 1984-3747.

The aim of this study was to discuss, through a literature review, the effectiveness, limitations and side effects related to tooth whitening strips. Among the various articles shown in this study, all of them describe a whitening effect on enamel and dentin using whitening strips impregnated with hydrogen peroxide between 5% and 10%. However, little is known whether the degree of whitening achieved is comparable to the effect produced by other bleaching techniques. Furthermore, only one study followed the length of the result for three months. Therefore, more research is needed to assess the full duration of whitening through the use of whitening strips, as well as demonstrate the degree of whitening that can be achieved compared to other techniques.
