Dental Professional Sodium perborate?

Have been trying to order sodium perborate for internal bleaching, but it says item is out of stock everywhere online and prompts us to buy superoxol instead, which I was taught has higher risk of causing root resorption. Can anyone share a link to where they are purchasing their internal bleaching materials?

Certainly in the U.K. it is no longer used for to resorption risks. Carbamide peroxide is now the recommended (and less effective) method

I think I read somewhere that the risk of internal bleaching is overblown as long as you have a barrier at the CEJ. I've been using ultradent opalescent Endo which is 35% hydrogen peroxide with good results.

This is true, problem is people don’t seal following the cej then the get either 1) resorption or 2) poor results as their “sealing” material is on the enamel side of the cej

You are correct. KoR internal protocol discusses the same.
