“…The Schiff scale evaluated good sensitivity and specificity values in the diagnosis of DH and should be the preferential scale in assessing DH. Deshpande et al, 27 Along with microabrasion, an advanced approach of application of casein phospho peptide-amorphous calcium phosphate crème on the tooth and remineralization was carried out, thereby decreasing postoperative sensitivity of the treated tooth. Based on the results of this case report, it can be determined that this technique is efficient and can be considered a minimally invasive procedure and was also advocated in our study.…”

A bstract Aim “Comparative evaluation of three different microabrasion techniques in esthetic management of fluorosis”—an in vivo study. Materials and methods A total of 48 permanent incisors in children between the age-groups of 8–12 years with Dean's fluorosis index modified criteria 1, 2, and 3 were included. The patients were randomly divided into three groups; each group included 16 samples. Group I—phosphoric acid and pumice microabrasion (37% phosphoric acid and pumice as abrasive), group II—opalustre microabrasion [6.6% hydrochloric (HCL) acid and silicon dicarbide (SiC 2 )], and group III—icon etch microabrasion (15% HCL acid gel as icon etch, pumice, and resin infiltrate). Preoperative sensitivity and pulp vitality of each tooth were evaluated. Standardized preoperative photographs were captured for the evaluation of color parameters L1, a1, and b1 by Adobe Photoshop 7 software and an assessment of color enhancement was carried out. Preoperative surface roughness was evaluated with two methods like, cellulose acetate replicating tape and confocal microscope, and Epoxy resin replica obtained from the preoperative impression of teeth using additional silicone and contact profilometer. Microabrasion was done accordingly. Postoperative values of all the parameters were evaluated. Results Phosphoric acid and pumice showed the best color change, followed by icon etch resin infiltrate. Opalustre (6.6% HCL acid and SiC 2 ) and was unsuccessful as it had less concentration and was more abrasive. Conclusion Phosphoric acid and pumice showed the best color enhancement, followed by icon etch resin infiltrate and opalustre. Icon etch resin infiltrate showed minimal surface roughness followed by phosphoric acid and pumice and opaluster group.

Summary Background/Aim: Dental fluorosis is a specific disturbance of tooth formation caused by excessive intake of fluoride. The discoloration of teeth is the most common reason for parents to seek treatment. The purpose of this paper is to describe the therapeutic management performed in a 9-year-old girl with fluorosis. Case report: A clinical case of a 9-year-old girl diagnosed with fluorosis is reported. The treatment of this clinical case was achieved using microabrasion, which is a minimally invasive method. This technique improves the aesthetics of the teeth without causing significant loss of dental tissue; a characteristic making microabrasion applicable to children as well. Its implementation involved the combined use of 18% hydrochloric acid and pumice on the enamel surface of upper incisors. The improved appearance of the teeth was aesthetically pleasing and, consequently, the patient gained in self-confidence. Conclusions: In the literature, several treatment choices are proposed, depending on the severity of the fluorosis. In our case, microabrasion was applied and the aesthetic outcome satisfied both the patient and the dentist.
