Yes: Carbamide peroxide is the material used in bleaching gels dispensed by dentists. Typical percentages for carbamide peroxide bleaching gels range between 15 and 35% . The higher the percentage, the more effective the product. Also keep mind with a higher percentage you should use the product for a shorter amount of time.
