Esthetic Rehabilitation of a Patient with Dental Fluorosis using Porcelain Laminate Veneers - A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Introduction: Dental fluorosis is hypo-mineralization of tooth enamel caused by intake of excessive fluoride during the formative stage of enamel formation. It causes intrinsic enamel staining ranging from mild to severe. Mild forms can be treated with conservative approach like bleaching, while moderate and severe forms needs esthetic restorative procedures. Case report: This case report describes rehabilitation of a moderate form of dental fluorosis using a conservative treatment approach with porcelain laminate veneers (PLVs). Porcelain laminate veneers provides better esthetics along with optimum functional strength. Conclusion: Minimally invasive restorations are beneficial because they reduce the risk of endodontic complications in the abutment teeth, preserve tooth structure, and offer the potential for highly esthetic results. This treatment approach offers interesting possibilities but also involves a high degree of technique sensitivity regarding the preparation (mainly in the enamel), adhesive bonding, and final fine-tuning of the static and dynamic occlusion. Adherence to the defined guidelines during the various clinical and technical treatment phases is a key factor for achieving long-term clinical success.
