Association of enamel microabrasion and dentinal bleaching in recovering an adolescent patient's smile: a case report

Abstract

This article presents the enamel microabrasion protocol for removing intrinsic white stains of hard texture on the enamel surface, using a 37% phosphoric acid/pumice mixture associated with a carbamide peroxide-based bleaching agent in custom-made mouth trays. We observed that these clinical procedures were safe and effective, and solved our patient's esthetic problem. © 2010 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
