Abstract
Fluorosis is a crippling disease and an ongoing challenge for India. It is a public health problem caused by excess intake of fluoride through drinking water, food products and industrial pollutants over a long period of time. Ingestion of excess fluoride, most commonly in drinking-water affects the teeth and bones. Repeated exposure to high concentrations of fluoride during tooth development, leading to enamel with reduced mineral content and increased porosity. Selection of appropriate treatment plan depends upon the severity of fluorosis. Porcelain laminate veneers are considered the treatment of choice for moderate to severe cases of fluorosis given the optimum aesthetics, wear resistance, biocompatibility, and long-term results of these veneers. This case report describes a step-by-step rehabilitation of dental fluorosis, using porcelain laminate veneers in a 28-year-old Indian female.
