Abstract

Patients have been increasingly worried about tooth discolouration in recent years, particularly when the maxillary anterior teeth are implicated. Dental fluorosis appears clinically as white patches or opaque white lines, or the tooth surface may have a white, parchment-like look. The brown stains visible in moderate to severe fluorosis are caused by the ingestion of extrinsic stains, primarily from the food. Higher fluoride concentrations cause discontiguous or confluent pitting of the enamel surface, which is accompanied by extrinsic stains.The aim of this case report is to demonstrate a conservative technique of minimally invasive procedures for esthetic correction in anterior teeth which includes methods like microabrasion, tooth bleaching and resin infiltration carried out in sequence for the removal or masking of fluorosis stains in maxillary and mandibular anteriors.
