The study was performed to assess the risk of at-home and in-office bleaching procedures, and to recognise potential predictors for side effects.
Bleaching treatment, irrespective of method, caused a high prevalence of side effects

The use of optical radiation in the so-called light-assisted tooth bleaching procedures has been suggested to enhance the oxidizing effect of the bleaching agent, hydrogen peroxide. Documentation is scarce on the potential adverse effects of bleaching products and on optical exposure risks to eyes and skin.
