Background At‐home bleaching is a technique characterized by the use of carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide as a tooth‐whitening agent. However, no data exist regarding systemic safety of this technique. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of at‐home bleaching on serum redox home...
