Microabrasion in tooth enamel discoloration defects: three cases with long-term follow-ups

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Superficial irregularities and certain intrinsic stains on the dental enamel surfaces can be resolved by enamel microabrasion, however, treatment for such defects need to be confined to the outermost regions of the enamel surface. Dental bleaching and resin-based composite repair are also often useful for certain situations for tooth color corrections. This article presented and discussed the indications and limitations of enamel microabrasion treatment. Three case reports treated by enamel microabrasion were also presented after 11, 20 and 23 years of follow-ups.

“…[3] Reston et al . [2] describe a minimally invasive technique performed in cases of enamel hypoplasia based on enamel microabrasion and complemented with composite resin restorations. The procedures employed are simple, but they require knowledge of the real causes of the staining and comprehension of restorative techniques.…”

Aesthetic approach for anterior teeth with enamel hypoplasia

2012

Enamel hypoplasia is a developmental defect of the enamel that is produced by a disturbance in the formation of the organic enamel matrix, clinically visible as enamel defects. Disorders that occur during the stages of enamel development and maturation reduce the amount or thickness of the enamel, resulting in white spots, tiny grooves, depressions and fissures in the enamel surface. The complexity and intensity of the dental deformity lesions will conduct the ideal treatment-associating conservative techniques. This article presents a case report of a restorative treatment of enamel hypoplasia using hybrid composite resin to mask color alteration and enamel defects. An aesthetic appearance that respects the tooth polychromatic and the self-esteem of the patient can be achieved with this approach.

“…This current clinical case addressed esthetic concerns and is in agreement with reports from other authors. [2][3][4][10][11][12][13] The most likely diagnosis of the white enamel stains in the present case was dental fluorosis. This was based on the fact that the teeth showed opaque white spots on the enamel with hypoplastic areas and mild erosion.…”

This article discusses indications and limitations of enamel microabrasion treatment and indicates that this technique may be a promising alternative to restoring severe stains. SUMMARYThis case report describes the sequential steps that were used to treat unesthetic, white, hardtexture enamel stains of unknown etiology. A tapered fine diamond bur was used to remove superficial enamel followed by the use of an enamel microabrasion compound Opalustre (Ultradent Products Inc). This technique removed the stains and was followed by polishing with a fluoride paste to restore the enamel to a smooth finish. The teeth were subsequently bleached with carbamide peroxide (Opalescence 10%, Ultradent Products), which achieved the patient's desired esthetic results.
