Linear Measurements of finish line length associated with Various Preparation Designs using CAD/CAM technology
Conclusion The complete-coverage preparations evaluated in this study exhibited significantly shorter finish lines compared to the partial-coverage preparations. Clinical significant The risk of recurrent caries has been directly related to the marginal integrity of any restoration. However, the relationship between the length of the finish line and recurrent decay may also be significant. Therefore, obtaining baseline information regarding the differences in finish line length of various preparation designs is important. (Source: The Saudi Journal for Dental Research)

Effects of different bleaching agent concentrations on surface roughness and microhardness of esthetic restorative materials
Conclusion The effect of bleaching depends on the concentration of CP. The higher surface roughness was produced by 35% CP. Bleaching with different concentrations did not reduce the microhardness of the feldspathic porcelain. However, microhardness of nano composite resin and resin modified glass ionomer specimens were affected by 20% CP and 35% CP . (Source: The Saudi Journal for Dental Research)
