Abstract

Non-vital bleaching is a non-invasive technique for the treatment of intrinsic discoloration of teeth. Hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate are commonly used bleaching agents. The aim of this case report is to demonstrate the non-vital bleaching technique in maxillary anterior teeth. Maxillary central incisors were isolated and root canal treatment was performed. Barrier space preparation was done using a heated instrument. Glass ionomer cement was used a barrier material. Mixture of hydrogen peroxide was placed in the canal and sealed with intermediate restorative material. After 1 week, the procedure was repeated to achieve the desired results. Non-vital bleaching is a minimally invasive procedure to restore the esthetics of a discoloured non-vital tooth. However, care should be taken to prevent any post-operative complications.
