This study aimed to compare the colour changes of resin-infiltrated white spot lesions after exposure to artificial saliva and oral rinses (Oral-B Pro-Expert, Listerine and Colgate Plax) at different time intervals (24 h, 72 h and 7 d). The premolar teeth were selected and sectioned into two halves. The artificial white spot lesions were created and resin-infiltration procedure was performed to seal the pores. The specimens immersed in the control subgroup showed an insignificant colour change (∆E) after 72 h. While significant differences in colour change among the experimental groups across time intervals (p<0.001), oral rinse groups (p<0.001), and the interaction between timeline and groups (p<0.001). All resin-infiltrated specimens showed colour differences after immersion in oral rinses with visually perceptible change. Although, Colgate Plax and Oral B oral rinses demonstrated the highest and lowest colour change, respectively in the initial 24 h. However, at 72 h and 7 d time-points, Listerine oral rinse demonstrated the highest colour change, while the lowest values were observed in Oral-B oral rinse. The use of Listerine should therefore be cautiously advised in resin-infiltrated cavities.

Review Article
The surgery-first approach (SFA) is a term used between orthodontists and surgeons for orthognathic surgery without presurgical orthodontic treatment. Over the past few decades, SFA has rapidly gained popularity since many young people undergo cosmetic surgery. Numerous articles and studies dealing with SFA concepts have been published globally in recent years. Nevertheless, many surgeons continue to use slightly different concepts and protocols since SFA is yet to be standardized. This literature review discusses current issues around SFA, including indication, contraindication, and limitation, compared with conventional treatment.
