hydrogen peroxide + carbamide peroxide

This refers to a clinical trial protocol evaluated by André Luis Faria e Silva at the Federal University of Sergipe to treat tooth discoloration. The protocol utilizes a combination of standard dental bleaching agents: a single in-office session using 35% hydrogen peroxide followed by daily at-home applications of 10% carbamide peroxide in customized trays. These agents function as oxidizers that penetrate the tooth structure to break down organic chromophores in the enamel and dentin into smaller, lighter-colored molecules. The study specifically investigated whether the initial in-office session could reduce the overall treatment time required to achieve satisfactory aesthetic results compared to at-home bleaching alone, while also monitoring for side effects such as tooth sensitivity.
