To assess the effect of 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) and 6% hydrogen peroxide (HP) home bleaching agents on the translucency and color of monolithic zirconia. Ninety disc specimens were fabricated (diameter, 10 mm) from multi-layered (ML), ultra translucent multi-layered (UTML), and super translucent multi-layered (STML) zirconia blocks at three thicknesses (0.4,1,1.5 mm) (n=5). The samples were divided into two subgroups, which were treated with 6% HP (45 min per day) or 10% CP (8 h per day) for 14 days. The color of specimens was measured before bleaching (T0) and after bleaching on the third (T3), seventh (T7), and 14th (T14) day. Color (∆E) and translucency (TP) changes were calculated. The thickness varieties used in the samples and the bleaching agent types used created statistically significant differences only in TP and ΔE00, respectively (p<0.05). Bleaching agents can affect TP and ΔE. Patients who have zirconia restorations should be careful when using home bleaching agents.
