Randomized trial assesses tooth sensitivity and quality of life following bleaching in young people and adults, suggesting safety and efficacy of treatment.
Tooth bleaching in young people with fully erupted permanent dentition, when performed under professional supervision, appears to be safe and effective. Although young people showed greater bleaching efficacy than adults, tooth sensitivity and short-term quality of life outcomes were similar between age groups and techniques. These findings support the cautious, individualized, and ethically guided use of bleaching in this population.
