Abstract
pulp tissues due to endodontic treatment may often lead to intrinsic staining. In such cases, cleaning procedures utilized to remove surface pigmentations are not effective and chemical bleaching is required to recover the original color. Nowadays, dental bleaching has been recognized as the most conservative treatment for discolored teeth.1, 2 In recent years, several products and techniques have been developed to achieve reliable dental bleaching.
