In vitro and ex vivo comparison of reactive oxygen-releasing granules for internal tooth bleaching by Romy M. Mayer, Andrea Gubler, Thomas Attin, Matthias Zehnder

“…All the suspensions bleached the blood-stained dentin, albeit with a lesser overall effect by sodium percarbonate (one-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD, p &lt; 0.05). The acidic preparations caused a severe (over 50%) reduction in flexural strength of the dentin (p &lt; 0.05 compared to physiological saline solution), while the alkaline counterparts did not.ConclusionsSodium perborate granules in aqueous suspension combined good de-staining properties with limited untoward effects on dentin integrity. …”
