Özet
Dental fluorosis (DF) is a specific esthetic issue characterized by a persistent condition in which there is a disruption in enamel development, leading to the formation of hypomineralized enamel. The resulting unusual appearance varies in intensity, presenting as mildly white and opaque to dark brown, and significantly impacts individuals' esthetic features and self-confidence. The objective of this case report was to assess the efficacy of microabrasion, dental whitening, and resin infiltration in terms of resolving lesions, tracking the sensitivity of teeth, and evaluating patient satisfaction over a period of time. A minimally invasive treatment approach in a 27-year-old woman with severe DF is detailed. The treatment plan involved enamel microabrasion, in-office bleaching, and two weeks of at-home bleaching, followed by resin infiltration for the affected tooth under rubber dam isolation. After a 5-year follow-up, the assessment of the patient's esthetic appearance indicated a successful treatment of teeth affected by DF.
