ABSTRACT INRODUCTION: Patient nowadays have been demanding healthy mouth and increasingly want perfect smile. Esthetic dentistry has received increased attention in recent years, especially due to the fact that people are more concerned about the esthetic appearance of their smile. This fact, associated with the decrease in the incidence and severity of caries, has directed the clinician's attention to conservative and non-invasive treatments, like tooth bleaching.Tooth discoloration can be influenced by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic stains are related to enamel and dentin properties, while extrinsic stains are associated to deposition of either food or beverages stains on the tooth surface.Hence this study is aimed to evaluate the tooth whitening efficacy of commercially available tooth whitening pastes available in India. MATERIALS AND METHOD: 60 human anterior collected after extraction-the prepared specimens were immersed for 24 hours in black tea mixture-washed in distilled water for 10 seconds and random divided into 6 groups with simple randomisation-brushed with 6 different tooth pastes, soft bristled and taken for examination. RESULT: After 4 and 8 weeks, ΔL values in the Colgate were significantly higher than those of Dabur red, Himalaya and Sensodyne, but no significant difference was seen on comparison with Close up and Pepsodent. CONCLUSION: All the over the counter products were effective in comparison with each other slight variations were seen. The main factor determining the efficiency is the duration of use of the products. Further clinical studies are required to confirm the whitening effects of these products in in vivo condition.
