Impact of in-office bleaching agents on the optical properties of universal resin composites: an in vitro analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the surface color stability, transluceny and gloss changes of seven different universal resin composites after bleaching treatment protocol.
methodsFifty-six disc-shaped specimens were prepared, with eight specimens each of the universal resin composites Filtek Z250 (F), Filtek Universal (FU), Harmonize (H), Vittra Unique (VU), Omnichroma (O), Essentia Universal (EU), Charisma Diamond One (CDO). Prepared specimens were divided into two for color change, translucency, gloss (n = 8). Initial color and gloss measurements and translucency calculations were made on the prepared samples. After measurements, in-office bleaching gel was applied to the specimen surfaces three times, and each application time was 15 min. After the bleaching protocol, the measurements were repeated, and the values were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Dunn's test, Paired samples t-test (p < 0.05).
resultsVittra Unique group had statistically significantly higher ΔE values than the FU, H and EU groups (p < 0.05). CDO had significantly higher ΔE than the H group (p < 0.05). O had higher TP values than all other groups for T0 and T1 (p < 0.05). A significant decrease in gloss values was observed after bleaching in all material groups compared to the initial.
conclusionsThe organic content of resin composites is an important factor in color stability, with higher molecular weight resins may being less affected by bleaching agents.
