Three specimens per tooth were allocated: one as a control and the others to experimental groups. Initial microhardness measurements were taken from one remaining dentine specimen per tooth. Subsequently, all groups underwent exposure to a demineralisation solution. Colorimetry assessed specimen colour, and post-second microhardness measurements on demineralised specimens, treatments were administered as follows: group 1 (control, n = 16): 38% SDF, group 2 (n = 16): 38% SDF followed by KI, group 3 (n = 16): 38% SDF with 5% GSH added by weight. Following pH cycling across all groups, colorimetry reassessed 48 dentine specimens. Final microhardness measurements ensued, followed by statistical analysis.
