Description	Home whitening is a simple technique whereby, after an initial consultation with the dentist, a mouthguard or tray is made for the patient to whiten the teeth at home. The patient is given the tooth whitening materials (normally 10% carbamide peroxide) to take home, together with a detailed whitening protocol. The patient applies the whitening material to the tray. The tray with the material is worn for several hours during the day or at night depending on the patient's schedule, while the teeth lighten. It is a predictable technique and has a success rate of 98% for non–tetracycline-stained teeth and 86% for tetracycline-stained teeth (Leonard 2000). The introduction of Nightguard Vital Bleaching in 1989 revolutionized whitening technology; the technique was simple, and dentists could provide treatment easily for patients. The overall cost was reduced and the technique has become extremely popular, enabling millions of people around the world to benefit from whitening treatment. It is the aim of this chapter to describe the home whitening technique and protocol in detail, so that successful whitening treatments can be achieved. Book Name: Tooth Whitening Techniques
