Abstract

Current tooth whiteners contain peroxides as active ingredients, which release hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in the process of application. The primary source of safety concerns with the peroxide-based tooth whiteners is the capability of H₂O₂to produce oxidative free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been associated with various pathological consequences including carcinogenesis and degenerative diseases. This chapter will review and discuss toxicology of H₂O₂, its presence in the human body, and its potential systemic effects, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity on the basis of evidence available in the literature.
