Combination of bleaching and resin infiltration for the treatment of dental fluorosis

Dental fluorosis is an enamel developmental defect that can negatively affect aesthetic appearance and patient's self-esteem. Aim: to present a clinical case of a young patient with moderate dental fluorosis treated by combination of bleaching and resin infiltration. Clinical case: A female patient, aged 14, presenting a moderate case of fluorosis (TFI-4), asked for esthetic improvement. The proposed treatment plan was entirely non-operative - a combination of in-office bleaching (BlancOne Click) and resin infiltration (Icon Vestibular, DMG). Results: A significant reduction of the brown discolorations was visible after bleaching and the colour of teeth was nearly completely harmonized after resin infiltration. The 3-year follow up showed stable results. Conclusion: The combination of bleaching and resin infiltration is a non-invasive approach for the treatment of moderate and severe cases of dental fluorosis.
