Materials and Methods: Thirty six disk – shaped specimens (5 × 2 mm)(of each restorative material for each test) were prepared and di-vided into three subgroup (n = 12).An unbleached group was used as control, while the remaining spec-imens in the two subgroups were bleached with bleaching regimens . Color change was assessed by using Vita Easy shade device , and the microhardness was determined by a Vicker,s microhardness tester. Means values were compared statistically with one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's Multiple Rang Test to determine the significant differences among the tested groups at (p = ≤ 0.05 )level of significance. Results: TetricCeram displayed unacceptable color change after bleach-ing with(16% carbamide peroxide) bleaching regimen.

Assess the horizontal lip position and lip thickness in both Class I and Class II Division 1 subjects; 2. To investigate the effect of gender on the horizontal lip position and lip thickness; 3.

Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 60 cephalometric radiographs of 30 dental and skeletal Class I subjects (15 males, 15 females) and 30 dental and skeletal Class II Division 1 subjects (15 males, 15 females). The hori-zontal lip position and thickness was analyzed using 11 linear and 4 angular measurements. Using SPSS software package (version 11.5), descriptive statistics and independent sample t–test were meas-ured to compare between the two Classes and two genders. The differences were considered significant at p < 0.05. Results: In Class I no significant differences were noticed in most of the variables except in upper lip (Ls) to Steiner line and lower lip (Li) to Holdaway line where females showed more retruded position and larger nasolabial angle (NLA) when compared to males. In Class II Division 1 subjects, the upper and lower lips were significantly protrusive in males when compared with females in relation to Sushner line (S2). Class II Division 1 males showed more protruded upper and lower lips in relation to S2 line, significantly smaller Z angle and higher H angle when compared with Class I males. Comparison between Class I and Class II Division 1 females showed a significantly higher val-ue of upper lip in relation to Steiner line (S1), and significantly smaller upper and lower lips in relation to E line, smaller Z angle and larger H angle. Conclusions: Some of the variables were not affected neither by gender nor by skeletal base while other showed statistically significant differences following gender or skeletal Class or both.

Materials and Methods: Three disc specimens (2.0 mm height and 5mm diameter)were prepared from the following indirect restorative materials  (Indirect composite resin, Gardia-GC, JAPAN, Feldspathic porcelain VITA VIMK 95-Germany  and Zirconia veneer, VITA-Zahnfabrik, Germany).  Two dual cure resin cements were used ( Variolink II, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Liechtenstein and Bis-Cem, Bisco-Schaumburg, USA). Twenty  specimens were prepared from each type of cement and divided into 4 groups, one as control and others as indirect restorative materials. After mixing cements were placed in a plastic mold (5mm diameter and 1mm height ) and light activated directly or through veneering discs for 30s using LED light at 500mW/cm2. Specimen subjected to three indentation using Vicker hardness tester with load of 50gm for 15 second. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and independent t-test at (α= 0.05). Results: For both cements the control groups showed higher hardness value than other groups. Specimens cured through indirect resin composite shows the highest microhardness while those cured through Zirconia shows the lowest value. Variolink II resin cement demonstrated higher microhardness than Bis-Cem cement regardless of the curing condition.
