Effect of bleaching on color and surface topography of teeth with enamel caries treated with resin infiltration (ICON) and remineralization (casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate).

Background: Dental bleaching is not recommended on teeth with enamel caries.

Aim: The study aimed to assess the efficacy of in-office bleaching on demineralized enamel managed by resin infiltration (RI) as well as casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP).

Methodology: Forty-eight sound enamel specimens were divided into four groups based on the surface treatment performed before in-office bleaching.

Effect of surface treatment on the dislocation resistance of prefabricated esthetic fiber posts bonded with self-adhesive resin cement: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: This systematic review aimed to determine the presence of any proof to validate the utilization of surface treatments to advance the bond strength of fiber posts to intraradicular dentin with self-adhesive resin cements.

Methodology: Laboratory studies that assessed the push-out or pull-out bond strength of the prefabricated esthetic posts whose surface was treated with either chemical or physical treatment or a combination and bonded using self-adhesive resin cement within root canal model were included for this systematic review. The review began after obtaining the registration number from the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO ID-CRD42020165009).
