This paper aims to collect all the necessary information and conclusions which deal with the anti-inflammatory drugs within the scope of teeth bleaching, and which are rooted in scientific research. It is a well-known fact that the teeth whiteners / bleachers are at the same time a very aggressive agents, which opened up the question of the safety of their application. The most frequently applied bleaching agents are the hydrogen-peroxide (H2O2) and carbim peroxide (CH6N2O3), therefore this paper will be based on the research which included these two agents. The first studies were directed towards investigating the outcome / impact on the enamel, i.e. if there is direct surface damage of the enamel layer after the use of such agents. However, bearing in mind that the clinical practice has shown that in a number of cases there arises the sensitivity of teeth in the form of painful sensation after the bleaching treatment, some researches were directed towards the estimation of the permeability of the enamel and dentin for the bleaching agent, and later the effect on the pulp tissue. Along with the existing proof about the irritability of these agents to the pulp tissue, the modern research have the idea of looking into the effects of the anti-inflamatory drugs as the accompanying and prevention therapy of any of the irreversible damage of the pulp. On one hand the application of these drugs can reduce the sensitivity and painfulness of the teeth, which makes the intervention pleasant for the patient, but on the other hand the intervention becomes completely justifiable from the aspect of safety and the basic principle primum non nocere. The anti-inflammatory drugs which will be the topic of this study are H hydrocortisone, acetaminophen, ipobruphen and etodolac. Taking into consideration the vasoconstrictive and anti-oxidative effect, the anti-inflammatory effect of the carvedilol will be looked into, which belongs to the group of beta blockers. Based on available informations it can be noticed that the most efficient anti-inflammatory effect in teeth whitening is achived by hydrocortisone.
