The Chemical
Reaction |
|
Hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) breaks down to water (H2O) and a free oxygen
radical (O) The smaller, less pigmented constituents by
rapid oxidation. These compounds have double bonds and long
carbon chains that are subsequently reduced to smaller
carbon chains and hydroxyl groups, which eliminate
discoloration.
The initiation of
bleaching occurs through the application of laser which
emits monochromatic light at a specific wavelength absorbed
by the catalyst molecules only, thus accelerating the
release of activated bleaching molecules
|
Hydrogen
peroxide, the most accepted active ingredient for in-office
bleaching, does not decompose readily, which is partly why
current bleaching procedures require lengthy visits.
The“Truly” Laser tooth whitening has developed a Laser Gel
that, when combined with hydrogen peroxide, becomes a
solution responsive to specific laser wavelengths resulting
in a rapid production of free oxygen radicals. |

Etiology Type of Discoloration
Stains Mild Tetracycline stains
Discoloration Caused by tobacco, coffee, tea or highly
colored food
Yellowing Natural aging
Factors & Causes
Tooth color is in most cases
an inherited trait, however, tooth color mainly depends upon
the condition of the teeth, dental health and lifestyle.
Various factors could lead to tooth darkening or
discoloration. The most common factor are : the intake of
staining fluids, such as cola, tea, coffee or wine; tobacco;
cigarette smoking and time.
Change in temperature of foods and drinks allow the teeth to
expand and contract, thus enabling the penetration of stains
onto the teeth.
Foods that are slightly acidic open up the pores of the
enamel and allow stains to move in. Teeth darken as we age
because the staining factors act upon the teeth for a longer
period of time.
There are also internal causes such as tetracycline stains,
fluorosis, injury, dental work and, of course, the aging
process. Depending upon the severity of staining, bleaching
will lighten the darkest areas but may not totally remedy
the condition.
