Tooth bleaching using peroxide-based materials is an effective procedure in dentistry. Studies provide evidence on the safety of bleaching by dental professionals. However, concerns and controversy remain regarding the safety of bleaching systems that do not involve dental professionals, especially those available at mall kiosks, salons, spas, and cruise ships. Bleaching causes tooth sensitivity and/or gingival irritation in a significant portion of patients. Bleaching requires proper examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan, which can be performed appropriately only by dental professionals; therefore, involvement of dental professionals in bleaching is necessary to maximize the efficacy and minimize potential risks.
使用过氧化物类材料进行牙齿漂白是牙科领域一种有效的治疗方法。研究为牙科专业人员进行漂白的安全性提供了证据。然而，对于非牙科专业人员使用的漂白系统的安全性，尤其是在商场售货亭、美容院、水疗中心和游轮上可得的漂白系统，仍然存在担忧和争议。漂白会在很大一部分患者中导致牙齿敏感和/或牙龈刺激。漂白需要进行适当的检查、诊断和治疗计划，而这只有牙科专业人员才能恰当地进行；因此，牙科专业人员参与漂白对于最大化疗效和最小化潜在风险是必要的。
