Aim: To investigate the effect of bleaching agents having a neutral pH on the surface of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) used as a coronal seal material for nonvital bleaching, beneath the bleaching agent, with the help of energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Materials And Methods: Six samples of plastic tubes filled with white MTA (Angelus white) were kept in 100% humidity for 21 days. Each sample was divided into 2 and made into 12 samples. These were then divided into three groups. Group A was exposed to Opalescence Boost 40% hydrogen peroxide (HP) (Ultradent). Group B to Opalescence 10% carbamide peroxide (Ultradent) and Group C (control group) not exposed to any bleaching agent. After recommended period of exposure to bleaching agents according to manufacturers' instructions, the samples were observed under SEM with an energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis system (JSM-6380 LA).
Results: There were no relevant changes in color and no statistically significant surface structure changes of the MTA in both the experimental groups.
Conclusion: The present findings suggest that even high concentration HP containing bleaching agents with neutral pH can be used on the surface of MTA without causing structural changes. The superior sealing ability of MTA and the high alkalinity would prevent cervical resorption postbleaching.

Objective: To assess the color stability and surface roughness of bioactive resin-based composite following exposure to coffee staining and brushing with whitening toothpastes.
Methods: Disk-shaped specimens of Filtek Z250 (FZ), Beautifil Flow Plus (BFP), Activa Presto (AP), and Fuji II LC (FII) were stained with coffee and then brushed with one of three toothpastes, conventional (C-TP), non-peroxide whitening (W-TP) or hydrogen peroxide-containing whitening toothpaste (HPW-TP) for 10 000 cycles. Changes in color (ΔE) and surface roughness were measured.
Organic ultraviolet filters in Hainan coral reefs: Distribution, accumulation, and ecological risks.

Article Synopsis
- Organic ultraviolet filters (OUVFs) are commonly found in sunscreen products and have been detected in coral reef ecosystems, particularly in tropical regions like Hainan Island, raising concerns about their ecological impact on coral reefs.
- A study analyzed 14 OUVFs across 24 coral species, seawater, and sediment samples, finding all filters present in every sample location and highlighting species-specific accumulation levels, with benzophenone-3 (BP-3) and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) as the most concentrated.
- The analysis showed that higher levels of OUVFs correlate with tourist activities, particularly in areas like Sanya, indicating significant risks to coral ecosystems due to sunscreen usage, especially during coral
Comparative efficacy of In-office and walking bleach techniques in whitening of non-vital teeth.

Restorative Dentistry Departament, Dental School, University of Chile, Santiago, 8380544, Chile.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two non vital whitening techniques, In-office and Walking Bleach, using 35% hydrogen peroxide. The primary research question was to determine which technique achieves greater tooth color improvement.
Materials And Methods: Fifty non-vital anterior teeth with discoloration were randomly assigned to either the In-office (n = 25) or Walking Bleach (n = 25) groups.
