A minimally invasive approach for aesthetic and smile enhancement using enamel microabrasion technique: Reports of two cases

Among the young patients with their anterior teeth involnement, aesthetic is usually a major factor that may produce a challenge to the dentist. Discoloured teeth may often affect the general population and dental fluorosis can be a major problem in areas of endemic fluorosis such as in India. The fluorosis resulting in discoloration of teeth may have various treatment options like bleaching, veneering (composite or ceramic), or artificial crowns and microabrasion. Among these, the microabrasion is a conservative, aesthetic treatment used for the selective removal of localized areas of intrinsically stained superficial enamel, usually caused by fluorosis and/or enamel hypoplasia (white spots). The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the two case reports of fluorosis treated with microabrasion technique applied over inactive brown spots present on maxillary anterior teeth helping further in patient’s aesthetic and smile enhancement.
