Abstract

Background: In the age of minimally invasive dentistry and increasing aesthetic demands, walking bleach is the most effective and conservative method. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the commonly used bleaching agent. This case report illustrates the walking bleach technique in maxillary incisors with hydrogen peroxide.
Case Report: A 35 years old female reported with discoloured endodontically treated maxillary incisors. Retreatment of maxillary incisors followed by walking bleach was planned. Glass ionomer cement was used as a barrier material. 35% hydrogen peroxide was placed in the pulp chamber with intermediate restorative material. The procedure was repeated after 5 days to achieve the desired results.
Conclusion: 35% hydrogen peroxide can successfully bleach discolored endodontically treated teeth.
Key message: Walking bleach technique is an incredibly effective approach for discolored intact non -vital teeth. It is rapid and easy to obtain desired results as well as economical to patients as compared to crowns and veneers.
