Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Both whitening toothpastes and light-assisted (laser or LED) in-office treatments are supported by clinical evidence as effective methods for achieving noticeable tooth whitening.

The analysis

Papers [0] and [2] provide empirical support for the effectiveness of whitening toothpastes and laser/light-assisted whitening procedures, respectively. Paper [1] is about bleaching tray reservoirs and paper [3] is about orthodontic tooth movement, making them tangential. Therefore, the claim is supported by the relevant literature.
