Aim:
To evaluate tooth discoloration after the use of different antibiotic pastes and to examine the effect of intracoronal bleaching on discolored crown.
Materials And Methods:
Single-rooted maxillary central incisors were collected and sectioned to obtain a standardized root length of 10 mm above the facial cementoenamel junction (CEJ). The specimens were then randomly divided into five groups (n = 11 for each group)-Group A: No filling (control group); Group B: triple antibiotic paste (TAP) with minocycline (MINO); Group C: TAP with doxycycline; Group D: TAP with amoxicillin; and Group E: TAP with clindamycin (CLIN).Spectrophotometric readings were obtained on the buccal surfaces of the crown. Color changes (ΔE) were recorded after 4 weeks, then the antibiotic pastes were removed, and an internal bleaching treatment was performed. After bleaching treatment, color changes (ΔE) were measured. The quantitative variables were evaluated using an unpaired t-test. The qualitative variables were compared using the Chi-square test. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0 was used for analysis.
Result:
From baseline (preshade) to 1 month, the greatest discoloration occurred with the triple-antibiotic combination, followed by the amoxicillin-doxycycline combination, and the least discoloration occurred in the CLIN group; these differences were statistically significant. After 1 week of placement of the bleaching agent, when compared to baseline, the color change was statistically significant in all groups except CLIN.
Conclusion:
The discoloration caused by the TAP with MINO showed greater whitening compared to the TAP with doxycycline and amoxicillin groups. The least color change was seen in the antibiotic combination with CLIN group.

The equilibrium constant, K, for a chemical system is the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at equilibrium, each raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients. Measurement of K involves determination of these concentrations for systems in chemical equilibrium.
