CURRENT APPROACHES TO TEETH WHITENING: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

Abstract

In contemporary dentistry, the pursuit of an esthetically harmonious smile has garnered increasing emphasis, elevating the role of teeth whitening to a cornerstone of minimally invasive esthetic interventions. While traditional oral care products have long focused on preventing dental caries and periodontal diseases, there has been a marked shift toward formulations specifically designed to enhance dental brightness. This evolving demand has catalyzed the development and widespread use of whitening techniques, both within clinical practice and through patient-directed, at-home applications. The present review seeks to explore the most frequently employed whitening agents and products by examining their chemical composition, mechanisms of action, and clinical efficacy. An extensive literature analysis was undertaken to assess current whitening protocols through both scientific and practical lenses. The insights derived from this evaluation are intended to serve as an evidence-based guide for dental students and practitioners alike, supporting informed decision-making and the effective implementation of dental whitening strategies in daily practice
