EndodonticsThe most common consequence of bleaching non-vital teeth is cervical resorption. This occurs because: 1) Bleaching agents can penetrate through dentinal tubules and reach the cervical area, 2) The agents cause chemical irritation to periodontal ligament cells, 3) This triggers inflammatory resorption at the cervical region, 4) The process can be progressive and lead to tooth loss. Proper isolation with cervical seal using glass ionomer cement helps prevent this complication.
