Abstract
For ages, a bright white smile symbolizes beauty, wellness, and vitality. The translucency and thickness of the enamel, hue of the underlying dentin, vitality, and color of the pulp all contribute to the pigmentation of teeth. Color changes in the crown can be due to physiologic or pathologic and endogenous or exogenous factors. Extrinsic or intrinsic stains are the most common causes of tooth discoloration. Discoloration, especially in the anterior teeth, seriously impairs esthetics and might make a patient feel less confident. In the treatment of discolored teeth, various invasive and non-invasive options, such as veneers and bleaching, are available, respectively. However, the urge for esthetic dentistry, particularly teeth whitening, has grown significantly in recent decades. As compared to invasive treatment options, non-invasive methods like bleaching (teeth whitening) are the most conservative choice for stained teeth and are preferred in situations where tooth structure is intact. Teeth whitening has developed into a well-liked and commonly requested dental procedure as a result of the public need for a brighter smile and enhanced looks. This paper aims to describe a case of vital, discolored anterior teeth due to fluorosis lightened using 35% hydrogen peroxide. A 19-year-old female patient reported to the department with discolored upper front teeth. After the procedure was completed, a pleasing esthetic result was achieved.
