Objective: to analyse tooth whitening with hydrogen peroxide based on a systematic review. Method: systematic review. Results: 15 scientific articles were reviewed. Conclusion: hydrogen peroxide is still the most widely used and effective agent in tooth whitening treatments, thanks to its ability to remove stains and significantly lighten the colour of teeth. However, its use can generate side effects, such as tooth sensitivity and alterations in the structure of the enamel, which makes it necessary to apply safe protocols adapted to each patient.
