For this study, 30 premolar teeth extracted for orthodontic purpose were used. They were divided into three groups 10 teeth in each Crowns of the teeth were divided into 2 pieces longitudinally. One part of the tooth crown was used as control and the other part was used as experimental group. 20 percent carbamide peroxide was applied at 370 C during 6 hours for 8 days to the first test group (at-home bleaching), 35 percent carbamide peroxide was applied at 37 0C for 30 minutes for 8 days to the second test group (at-home bleaching) and 38 percent hydrogen peroxide was used 4 times for 15 minutes making a total 60 minutes on the remaining ten specimen (in-office bleaching). The solubility of the enamel was calculated by the determination of inorganic phosphorus using a spectrophotometer. Comparative analysis of the depths in the groups was carried out and its relation with mineral loss was evaluated. Paired t-test was used to compare the differences between the groups. A statistically significant difference was found between the control and the study groups for the 38% hydrogen peroxide. There was no statistically significant difference between the control and experimental groups in the other two groups. It is concluded that of these three bleaching materials, 38% hydrogen peroxide has the greatest effect on mineral loss from the enameleninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle615761263768
