Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching on Color Stability and Microhardness of Alkasite Restorative Materials: An In Vitro Study
High-concentration HP bleaching significantly compromises both color stability and microhardness of alkasite restorations, with chemical-cured specimens being more susceptible to these changes than light-cured specimens. These findings suggest that high-concentration bleaching may adversely affect alkasite restoration longevity and aesthetic outcomes.
