Background: Extrinsic discoloration is treated with bleaching which increases enamel porosity and roughness. Remineralizing materials is applied to avoid the bleaching side effects. The current study aimed to evaluate time dependent safety of bleaching materials on enamel surfaces roughness, and to assess the remineralizing potential of whey extract as a natural product and to compare it with the commercially available fluoride varnish and fluoride mouthwash after maximum bleaching time (30 min.). Methods: Extracted human incisor teeth without cracks or any enamel defects were used in this study. Teeth were cleaned and decoronated at the level of the cementoenamel junction. A nail varnish was used to cover the entire surface of the crowns of each tooth, leaving a window measuring 4 mm × 4mm. Bleaching material was applied to the enamel of all teeth specimens. The Application of bleaching material was repeated 2 more times, each time for 10 minutes, which amounted in total to 30 min. The specimens in group 1 were soaked in artificial saliva, the specimens in group 2 were soaked in whey extract, the specimens in group 3 were treated with fluoride varnish and group 4 specimens were soaked in fluoride mouthwash. Results: The mean value of the surface roughness of all the teeth specimens was increased significantly after bleaching for 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes (p=0.000) when compared with baseline mean value. As well, there was significant direct correlation between application time of bleaching material and mean value of surface roughness (r= 0.94). There were no significant differences (p>0.05) between the specimens of the 4 groups when the mean value of surface roughness compared at baseline and after bleaching. But, after treatment, there was significant difference (p≤0.05) between the 4 groups, with the best result obtained from whey extract and fluoride varnish. Conclusions: The enamel surface roughness is significantly and directly correlated with prolonged application time of bleaching material. Remineralizing materials; whey extract, fluoride varnish and fluoride mouth wash had significantly decreased enamel surface roughness caused by bleaching. Whey extract has statistically the same effect as fluoride varnish on decreasing the surface roughness of bleached enamel surface.

There is sparse of hydrogeological data and insufficient knowledge in many areas of the country reliant on groundwater. Given the exponential expansion in groundwater consumption in recent years, it is imperative to comprehend how groundwater reservoirs respond to both natural and anthropogenic situations. Because of its extensive and unequal distribution, groundwater must be carefully studied in some locations to preserve this precious resource. This study was carried out to evaluate and assess the geological formation and some relevant parameters to enrich the geotechnical information of the study area for future use of groundwater. The soil samples used for the study were obtained from 8 SPT boreholes at 0 to 800 ft.depth at various work stations by percussion drilling method and all laboratory tests were conducted by BS 1377. Drilled soil sample with water was collected in a Polythene bag with a permanent marker pen at 20 ft.intervals of the drilling layer to perform a sieve analysis test. Percentage fines decreased with an increase in boring depth and curves were closely packed homogeneity. The quantity of free silt and clay progressively reduced and coarsen materials were formed with the increase in boring depth. Results show that soil particle sizes increase with boringdepth up to the upper surface of it. However, the area is suitable in terms of groundwater availability.
