This observational study evaluated the color stability of darkly discolored arrested caries lesions (DDACL) on anterior teeth following in-office bleaching with 40% hydrogen peroxide, in comparison with healthy teeth. Tooth color (spectrophotometer, CIELAB, CIEDE2000), laser fluorescence (DIAGNODent Pen), ICDAS II codes, and patient and clinician color satisfaction were assessed at baseline, immediately after bleaching, and at 1 week and 3 months.
