| Abstract | ||
| Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three esthetic treatments on the microhardness and surface roughness of the teeth treated with (Icon) at different storage times Materials and Methods: White spot lesion was created on the labial surfaces of 120 anterior teeth were prepared, treated with Icon resin, divided into 4groups according to the treatment (bleaching, polishing and brushing), with different storage times(one day, one week and one month). Microhardness and surface roughness were measured. Results: There was a decrease in the microhardness and an increase in the surface roughness comparing with the control group specially in the polishing subgroup and after one month of storage. Conclusion: Esthetic treatment affects the microhardness and surface roughness of Icon treated teeth. Polishing has highest effect while, brushing has the lowest. These effects increases with storage. | ||
