Effect of High Light Intensity Bleaching Protocol versus Descending Light Intensities Bleaching Protocol on Post Bleaching Teeth Sensitivity: A Randomized Clinical Trial

In-Office Power Bleaching for the Aesthetic Management of Dental Fluorosis

Fluorosis is a widespread condition that is endemic and found in approximately 25 nations worldwide. It manifests as dental fluorosis, an inherited enamel imperfection resulting from excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development. This condition can lead to varying degrees of tooth discoloration, often requiring aesthetic correction. Bleaching represents one of the treatment approaches for such instances, with in-office power bleaching being a technique that comprises the clinical implementation and triggering of bleaching agents using light to expedite the procedure. This case report outlines the successful aesthetic revision of moderate dental fluorosis through power bleaching, obviating the demand for intrusive procedures. It underscores the efficacy and conservative nature of in-office power bleaching to address tooth discoloration associated with extensive fluorosis.

Conservative esthetic management of severe dental fluorosis with in-office power bleaching

Fluorosis is an endemic disease, prevailing in about 25 countries globally. Dental fluorosis is an acquired defect of enamel due to the exposure of an individual to excessive fluoride levels during tooth development. It could result in mild-to-severe discoloration of teeth, which might necessitate esthetic correction. Bleaching is one of the common treatment modalities used in the esthetic correction of such cases. In-office power bleaching is one of the techniques of tooth bleaching that involves clinical application and activation of the bleaching agent with light to accelerate the bleaching process. This case report describes the esthetic correction of severe dental fluorosis by power bleaching, without any need for invasive treatment. This report suggests that in-office power bleaching is an effective and conservative method for esthetic correction of tooth discoloration in severe dental fluorosis.
