Nowadays there are several methods of applying carbamide and hydrogen peroxide for use in dental whitening, this literature investigation tried to determine which is the best option. Objective: To compare through a literature review the efficacy of tooth color and sensitivity produced by hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Method: The databases used were PUBMED, Scopus and Web of Science. The search method was “TOOTH WHITENING AND HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND CARBAMIDE PEROXIDE”, applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 9 articles were obtained for this literature review. Result: According to the analyzed studies, it was found that all lightening agents improve the color appearance of dental structures. In most studies tooth sensitivity was present; however, carbamide peroxide produces less sensitivity.Conclusion: Hydrogen peroxide like carbamide peroxide are effective in producing a discoloration of teeth. In darker teeth the treatment is more effective regardless of the lightening agent used. On the other hand, the sensitivity is lower when carbamide peroxide is applied.
