Key Clinical Message Tooth bleaching is a widespread dental treatment with important psychosocial antecedents and outcomes involved. In the activation of in‐office bleaching agents, a selective light radiation, that is, a diode laser seems to be a positive choice to decrease the time of bleaching without surface modification and with no residual tooth sensitivity for maximum effect and minimal clinical and psychological side effects.
