Following polishing, specimens were standardized by immersion in black tea solution for 1 week to achieve uniform discoloration. Initial and subsequent shade assessments were performed using a spectrophotometer based on the Commission Internationale de l\u2019Eclairage Lab* system. Teeth were randomly divided into two groups: 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) and bromelain. Each group was further subdivided into four subgroups: Control, gel-only, gel + laser for 2.5 min, and gel + laser for 5 min. Bleaching procedures were performed in two sessions, 1 week apart, with repeated gel applications per session. Color changes were calculated and statistically analysed using the one-way ANOVA with Tukey\u2019s post hoc test (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both bleaching agents produced perceptible shade improvements, influenced by diode laser activation and exposure time.
