Background: This study aimed to assess the effect of different whitening toothpastes containing activated charcoal, abrasive particles or hydrogen peroxide on the color of aged microhybrid composite.
Materials And Methods: In this , experimental study, 45 composite discs (2 mm × 7 mm) were fabricated of a microhybrid composite. They underwent accelerated artificial aging for 300 h, corresponding to 1 year of clinical service. The composites were then randomly divided into five groups ( = 9). One group served as the control and underwent tooth brushing with distilled water. The remaining four groups underwent tooth brushing with Colgate Total whitening (Gt), Colgate Optic White (Go), Perfect White Black (Gp) and Bencer (Gb) toothpastes in a brushing machine The International Commission on Illumination values (L, a, b) were determined using a spectrophotometer. Color change (ΔE) calculated based on this formula: ΔE= ([ΔL] + [Δa] + [Δb] ). The differences were defined by ΔE (after aging-baseline),ΔE (after brushing-after aging) and ΔE (after brushing-base line). ΔE were evaluated to ensure that color mismatch had occurred (ΔE1 > 5.5). Difference in (L, a, b) parameters after aging and after tooth brushing in each group, color parameter changes (ΔL Δa, Δb ΔL Δa, Δb) and ΔE and ΔE were analyzed and compared using Wilcoxon test and independent sample median test at = 0.05 level of significance.
Results: The color parameter changes, ΔE and Δ E were not significantly different among the five groups ( > 0.05). In Gp and Gb charcoal a*, b*, and L* after tooth brushing ( < 0.05). In Colgate Optic group, the a* parameter significantly decreased while the L* parameter significantly increased ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that there is no significant difference in the color change of Spectrum composite following tooth brushing with different whitening toothpastes for two weeks. It should be noted that Δ E reached to <3.3 only in charcoal whitening toothpastes.

Background: There is a paucity of data on oral health problems among the residents of Fanteakwa districts (South and North) in the Eastern region of Ghana. Therefore, this study assessed the prevalence and factors associated with self-reported oral health problems in the Fanteakwa districts of Ghana.
Methods: This community-based cross-sectional study targeted residents of the towns of the Fanteakwa districts, who have not had any dental care visit in the past six months preceding the study.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with dentin hypersensitivity (DH) and non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs).
Methods: The analytical cross-sectional study included 157 participants aged between 18 and 45 years, who were clinically examined and answered a questionnaire related to their lifestyle and daily habits (diet, parafunctional habits, temporomandibular disorders, general and oral health) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. A descriptive analysis of the prevalence of DH and NCCL was performed, both at the individual level and considering the distribution among the teeth.
