these cases are alterations in dental color, compromising patient’s esthetics and his interaction in social

show immediate esthetic results. This clinical case shows a bleaching technique in devitalized teeth using
bleaching agent with 35% hydrogen peroxide activated by LED light. The technique is simple to perform
