Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE PUMICE COMPOUND	30 minutes	Tooth shade was recorded at the baseline with the help of VITA classical A1-D4® shade guide. The arrangement of the shades in the VITA classical family of shades is as follows: A1 - A4 (reddish-brownish), B1 - B4 (reddish-yellowish), C1 - C4 (greyish shades), D2 - D4 (reddish-grey).Determination of shade was done under daylight. Closest shade was selected from the shade tab. Effectiveness was marked positive if there was atleast one change in shade from the baseline just after the procedure to shade group from A1-D4. Effectiveness was marked negative if there is no change in shade from the baseline.
