MANAGEMENT OF SUPERFICIAL FLUORIDE STAIN USING MICROABRASION TECHNIQUE BASED ON CONCEPT OF MINIMAL INVASIVE COSMETIC DENTISTRY
A CASE REPORT
Abstract
In an era of minimal intervensive treatment, Microabrasion has emerged as a technique of choice for the removal of intrinsic, discoloured but superficial stains from tooth surface. It is a cost effective, conservative treatment modality where enamel wear is minimal and clinically imperceptible. In this case report, mild flourosis was treated successfully with a slurry of 18% Hcl and pumice and fluoridated paste was applied postoperatively to improve lustre. Casein phosphopeptide-Amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) was prescribed for topical application on the affected teeth to assist in remineralization.
