The safety-in-use of Carbamide Peroxide for whitening teeth.
M G D Kelleher and F J C Roe
British Dental Journal
Conclusions:
Noticeable discoloration of teeth can amount to a physical handicap which impacts on a person's self-image, self-confidence, attractiveness and employability. It should not therefore be dismissed as a matter of no more than cosmetic importance.
Carbamide Peroxide liberated from Hydrogen Peroxide is effective in whitening teeth because it penetrates through the enamel and into the dentine. Thus whitening is not achieved solely by a surface effect.
In our opinion the whitening of teeth using a Carbamide Peroxide formula is completely safe from the viewpoint of general toxicity, risk of mutation and risk of carcinogenesis.
The efficacy of Carbamide Peroxide formula in the whitening of teeth is established. When properly used, there are no more than minimal adverse effects on the soft tissues of the mouth and these are very transitory
