Quantitative and Qualitative Assessment of Enamel Surface Roughness Following High-Concentration Peroxide Bleaching: A Comparative In Vitro Study
Exposure to both 35% hydrogen peroxide and 37% carbamide peroxide significantly increased enamel surface roughness with comparable etching effects. SEM was found to be more sensitive than profilometry for detecting microstructural changes.
