Description	In 1989, Haywood and Heymann published their landmark article describing a new and revolutionary technique for lightening extrinsically stained or discolored teeth. Originally termed Nightguard Vital Bleaching (NGVB), the treatment has also been referred to as tooth whitening, tooth bleaching, and dentist-prescribed, home-applied (DPHA) bleaching. As described in the Haywood and Heymann article, this innovative technique was performed under the supervision of a dentist with respect to tray fabrication, diagnosis of tooth discoloration, and so on, but was implemented by the patient, who applied the treatment solution at home. As word spread about the new technique, acceptance of this simple and effective process to lighten teeth was rapid among dental practitioners as well as patients seeking a simple and effective way to lighten discolored teeth (Christensen 1989, Albers 1991, Haywood 1992) (Figures 19.1–19.3) Thus, manufacturers of dental products saw the interest in and demand for tooth bleaching and soon developed products ranging from simple bleaching solutions to comprehensive bleaching systems. Along with these product lines came the investment of millions of dollars in advertising to enlighten the public about this technique. It was no surprise that NGVB became one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental procedures requested by the public. Book Name: Tooth Whitening Techniques
