Aim: To evaluate the staining effect of different children's health drinks (Boost, Complan, and Pediasure) on esthetic restorative materials (giomer, nanohybrid composite, and ormocer).
Materials And Methods: The specimens consist of giomer, nanohybrid composite, and ormocer. Before the discoloration process, 80 disks of each material were fabricated, each measuring 5 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of antioxidants on the shear bond strength of composite resin to bleached enamel.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 extracted permanent anterior teeth were split into four major groups, one among them being a control group. Group I (bleaching + without antioxidant), group II (bleaching + 10% sodium ascorbate), group III (bleaching + 5% grape seed extract), and group IV (bleaching + 5% pine bark extract).
