Tooth bleaching is a treatment modality that raises great interest, due to the important role played by aesthetics in current life style. To perform such procedure, nowadays, there are several bleaching substances at several concentrations, as well as, diverse clinical techniques. When suggesting this procedure, the dentist should take into consideration several factors related to the patient to determine which will be the most appropriate technique/material combination for solving the clinical problem. The procedure indication should not only be based on the expectations exhibited by the patient, but also on respecting the biological principles to maintain the integrity of both the endodontic and periodontal tissues.
