“…-Very low dmft was the highest percentage among all classes (42.5%), then moderate dmft (26%), then low dmft (15.1%), followed by high dmft (12.3%) and finally very high was the lowest percentage (4.1%). pH mean of the studied children was 9.07, the lowest pH was 6.9 while the highest was 9.9 as presented in table (2). The pH range (9-9.9) was the highest range (75.2%), then pH range (8-8.9) was (19.2%), while the lowest percentage was pH range (6.9-7.9) as it was (5.6%).…”

“…Any changes in the three distinct layers of the tooth the enamel, dentin and cementum will cause modification in the appearance of the tooth leading to a change in its light transmitting and it's reflecting properties. (2) Black stains (BS) are type of extrinsic discoloration of the tooth. It differs in the severity, location, degree of adhesion and composition.…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the salivary bacterial level and dental caries experience in children with black stained teeth. Methods: The sample comprised 73 children aged 4-6 years with black stains where the caries experience was evaluated using dmft index. Also, the salivary sample was taken into a sterile container and taken to the laboratory within 1 hour for processing. In the laboratory saliva dilution was done and sample was placed into a plate which contains Brain heart infusion agar. From the plate, identification of the morphology of Actinomyces was done. The colony of Actinomyces on the plate was counted with colony counter using colony forming unit. With the same salivary sample the pH was measured using the pH meter. Results: Among the children with BS, the mean dmft was (2.3), most children had very low dmft score (42.5%). So this showed lower caries experience in children with black stains. Regarding the Actinomyces count the results showed higher number of Actinomyces in children with BS. However it was statistically insignificant. pH of the studied children was mainly in the alkaline range with a mean (9.07) with prevalence (75.2%). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that in this small sample of Egyptian children with black stainsthey were found to have lower caries experience. The salivary bacterial count of Actinomyces was high in the same group of children and that the higher the Actinomyces number the less the dmft score. The children with BS also showed pH mainly in the alkaline range.

“…Hegde et al investigated the prevalence of tetracycline discoloration in anterior teeth in the south Canara population in the years 2012 and 2014. They discovered that the number of people with tetracycline-induced stains increased by 3.8% in 2014 compared to 2012 despite the awareness they created to avoid such a complication [ 4 ].…”

Patient dissatisfaction with tooth discoloration as a result of tetracycline therapy is not uncommon. To address patients' aesthetic demands, conservative bleaching treatments were considered before more invasive, irreversible treatments such as dental veneers or crowns. Bleaching is a relatively non-invasive, safe, and cost-effective method of achieving a desirable result. However, due to many limiting variables, including the extended duration of active bleaching, tetracycline-stained teeth are one of the most challenging cases to obtain satisfactory bleaching outcomes. This clinical report presents two cases of management of tetracycline staining of the teeth with varying degrees of severity.
