The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of laser-assisted bleaching with neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) and diode lasers on shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets. One hundred and four extracted human premolars were randomly divided into four groups: group 1: No bleaching applied (control group); group 2: Teeth bleached with 40 % hydrogen peroxide; group 3: Teeth treated with 30 % hydrogen peroxide activated with Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm, 2.5 W, 25 Hz, pulse duration of 100 μs, 6 mm distance); and group 4: Teeth treated with 30 % hydrogen peroxide activated with diode laser (810 nm, 1 W, CW, 6 mm distance). Equal numbers of teeth in groups 2, 3, and 4 were bonded at start, 1 h, 24 h, and 1 week after bleaching. A universal testing machine measured the SBS of the samples 24 h after bonding. After bracket debonding, the amount of residual adhesive on the enamel surface was observed under a stereomicroscope to determine the adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores. The SBS in the unbleached group was significantly higher than that in the bleached groups bonded immediately and 1 h after laser-assisted bleaching (P < 0.05). In groups 3 and 4 at start and group 2 at start and 1 h after laser-assisted bleaching, the SBS was found to be significantly lower than that in the control group. Significant differences in the ARI scores existed among groups as well. The SBS of brackets seems to increase quickly within an hour after laser-assisted bleaching and 24 h after conventional bleaching. Thus, this protocol can be recommended if it is necessary to bond the brackets on the same day of bleaching.

This study evaluated the changes in surface properties of three resin-based restorative materials after two laser-assisted, in-office tooth bleaching protocols using erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) or diode (980 nm) lasers. A nanohybrid composite (Enamel Plus HRi), a Bis-GMA-free composite (Enamel Plus HRi Bio Function), and a resin-matrix CAD-CAM ceramic (Shofu Block HC) were tested. Forty specimens for each material were prepared and divided into four groups (n = 10/group).

Aims - to compare the color changes, the surface roughness and morphology of the enamel bleached with two different bleaching solutions (chemical and laser activated), preceded or not with acid etching. Thirty teeth of bovine prepared and haphazardly assigned to 2 groups (n=15) depending on bleaching technique. Each group subdivided to 3 subgroup (n=5) consistent with acid etching by 37% phosphoric acid.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of a diode laser (445 nm) for in-office tooth bleaching, testing various power settings (0.5-2 W) and durations (10-60 s) on human incisors.
- Two hundred incisors were analyzed for color change (ΔΕ) and whiteness index (ΔWI) after treatment, with results showing significant factors influencing effectiveness included power, duration, and time of measurement (p < 0.05).
- The findings indicate that longer laser exposure times (50-60 s) at lower powers (0.5-1 W) and moderate powers (1.5-2 W) significantly enhanced bleaching effects compared to a control group, providing valuable insights for optimal tooth
Comparative evaluation of bond strength of diode and neodymium-doped:Yttrium aluminum garnet-assisted bleached enamel with nanofilled composite: An study.

Background: The world of esthetic dentistry is constantly making efforts toward the management of tooth staining. Laser-assisted bleaching is needed before adhesive restorations and has become common and advantageous as it accelerates bleaching action, reduces postoperative sensitivity, and promotes recrystallization of enamel.
Aim: The study aimed to evaluate and compare the bond strength of diode (Biolace: EpicX) and neodymium-doped:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) (LightWalker, Fotona, Slovenia) assisted bleached (Pola Office, SDI) enamel with nanofilled composite (GC Solare Sculpt).
