Abstract

Dental fluorosis is a specific esthetic disturbance, which can be described as a chronic condition, where enamel development has been disrupted and the resulting tooth enamel is hypomineralized. It is caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation stage. Hence, overtime, various treatment modalities have evolved, like, microabrasion, bleaching, resin infiltration, veneers, etc. Microabrasion using Opalustre has been used extensively. However, the results may not be promising. With advancement in material science, a new product, namely, Antivet enamel cleansing kit is available, which is effective in removing brown stains due to fluorosis. Post operative sensitivity is also significantly less with this product. This paper presents two cases of fluorosis for which different agents have been used. Keywords – discolouration, fluorosis, microabrasion
