Minimal Invasive Technique for the Esthetic Management of Dental Fluorosis

Abstract

Dental fluorosis is a severe dental extremity due to excess fluoride intake during enamel formation, resulting in color abnormalities and severe tooth defects on its surface. This dental condition leads to abnormal appearance ranging from mild white to dark brown, affecting the esthetic characteristics and personality of the patient that eventually lowers their self-confidence. Restoration procedures and tooth-whitening procedures are the well-appreciated treatment methods for treating this anomaly. The current clinical report illustrates the minimally invasive technique for esthetic management of dental fluorosis in a 27-year-old male affected by dental fluorosis. Clinical examination revealed dental fluorosis of class II spots according to Dean's classification of fluorosis severity. The treatment plan involves minimally invasive micro-abrasion, vital teeth bleaching, and resin infiltration technique for blending different microporous lesions, mild-to-moderate fluorosis, and hypoplasia stains.

Metamorphosing Smiles Through Esthetic Vital Bleaching: A Twin Case Report

“…McInnes solution offers several advantages, including costeffectiveness, reduced chair-side time, and prompt treatment outcomes. By adequately isolating the treatment area with a rubber dam, this solution can be applied to either the entire dental arch or individual teeth [13,14]. Dentists have the flexibility to adjust or halt the treatment as needed due to the easy control over the application of the solution.…”

Impacto da fluorose dentária na qualidade de vida de crianças e adolescentes

“…Existem vários métodos de tratamento foram elaborados para melhorar a aparência superficial de dentes que possuem machas de fluorose dentária que incluem trabalhos protéticos, realização de restaurações estéticas com compósitos, micro abrasão e clareamento dentário (BARAKAT et al, 2022).A seleção de uma propedêutica ou associação de técnicas dependerá da gravidade da anomalia de desenvolvimento.Outro ponto a ser levantado na hora da escolha do melhor manejo de fluorose dentária é a idade do paciente, uma vez que opções de tratamento protético resultam na remoção excessiva da estrutura dentária e desenvolvem no paciente sensibilidade e podem levar a exposição pulpar (RAUT et al, 2020).Dessa forma, uma técnica estética e minimamente invasiva é a melhor opção de tratamento de fluorose dentária para pacientes pediátricos (SAMMARCO, 2019;WANG, MENG, MENG, 2020).…”
