Evaluation of the effects of different remineralizing agents on the microhardness and mineral content of bleached enamel along different storage times.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study evaluated the effects of various remineralizing agents on Vickers microhardness (HV) and mineral weight percentages (wt%) of bleached enamel during 30 days of storage in artificial saliva. MATERIALS AND
methodsFor HV testing, a total of 154 human specimens were used, including 14 specimens that were assigned to two control groups: a positive (sound unbleached enamel, n = 7) and a negative control (bleached using a 32% hydrogen peroxide, n = 7). The remaining 140 specimens were bleached and randomly divided into 20 experimental groups (n = 7), based on two factors: remineralizing agents; four agents (potassium nitrate with fluoride, casein-phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate with fluoride, hydroxyapatite with fluoride, and PAMAM), and storage times; five times (24 h, 3 days, 7 days, 15 days, and 30 days). For mineral wt%, 110 human enamel specimens were used, including 10 specimens for positive (n = 5) and negative control (n = 5), and 100 bleached enamel specimens divided into 20 experimental groups (n = 5/group), based on two factors, same as for HV testing. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD post hoc tests (α = 0.05).
resultsRemineralizing agents and storage time significantly affected HV of bleached enamel (p < 0.001). PAMAM showed the highest HV at 7, 15, and 30 days (p < 0.05). Calcium (Ca) wt% was unaffected by either remineralizing agents (p = 0.848) or storage time (p = 0.141). Phosphorus (P) wt% was significantly influenced by both factors (p < 0.001 and p = 0.023, respectively). Fluoride (F) wt% was significantly affected only by the remineralizing agents (p = 0.001).
conclusionsBleaching significantly decreased enamel HV and F wt%, whereas remineralizing agents effectively restored both. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The use of different remineralizing agents may help counteract the detrimental effects of bleaching on enamel.
