Fluorosis is one of the most common cause. It is prevalent in different areas of Pakistan. Microabrasion was selected for treatment of discoloration in this case report.

This slurry was applied on the labial tooth surface and mechanically rubbed with a prophylaxis brush in a slow hand piece for a minute, with gentle pressure. The cycle was performed thrice followed by fluoride application. The results of this conservative treatment were satisfactory and patient was satisfied with the esthetic outcome.
