Summary
The treatment of tooth discoloration has grown into a multibillion-dollar, highly complex, scientific, and therapeutic field by the twenty-first century. The treatment's origins, on the other hand, may be traced back thousands of years to ancient doctors and beauticians who employed simple yet ingenious natural materials to conceal unpleasant teeth discolorations [1]. Dental surgeons must understand the aetiology of tooth staining in order to provide an accurate diagnosis when examining a discolored dentition and to explain the nature of the problem to the patient. Tooth discoloration is a common dental occurrence that is linked to both clinical and aesthetic issues. If there are enamel flaws, the severity of the stains may be exacerbated. The dental staff has two significant issues when it comes to tooth discoloration. The first task is to figure out what caused the stain, and the second is to treat it [3]
