Objective: The present study compared the effectiveness of over-the-counter tooth-whitening strips and toothbrushing for stain removal. Materials and method: Forty bovine teeth were subjected to initial color readings and divided into two groups: 20 teeth were stained with grape juice for seven days and 20 did not receive any treatment (control). Each group was subdivided into two groups (n=10) according to treatment: whitening strips twice/day (30 minutes/7 days) and mechanical brushing with toothpaste (one year). After the treatments, final color readings were taken and color stability (ΔEab), coordinates (ΔL, Δa, Δb), and whitening index (WID) were calculated and analyzed statistically (two-way ANOVA, Bonferroni α=0.05). Results: Statistical differences were found for ΔEab and all coordinates between the Control and Stained groups, with major changes in the Stained groups for both treatments. In the Control group, whitening strips produced greater changes in Δb (p <0.05), indicating decrease of yellowness. For the Stained group, whitening strips produced greater changes in Δa (p <0.05), indicating redness reduction. Conclusion: Both treatments were effective for removing stains, and whitening strips were more efficient and effective for changing the color of teeth without previous staining.
