| Research Abstract |
Office bleach is a popular treatment in modern aestheric dentistry. However, bleaching agents are sometimes accidentally adhered to gingiva and peripheral tissues even by well-trained operators, which leads to transient pain and whitish change of gingiva. Although these symptoms disappear within several hours, the effects of bleaching agents on gingiva have not been well described in the literature. The current study was aimed to elucidate the cytotoxic effects of a bleaching agent on cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs).
