Hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)-based products are effective in tooth whitening; however, their safety is controversial as they may harm patient tissues/cells. These effects are suggested to be concentration-dependent; nonetheless, to date, there are no reports on H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-mediated oxidative damage in the gingival tissue, and neither whether this can be detected in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples. We hypothesize that H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> whitening p ...[more]
