Conservative approach for esthetic treatment of enamel hypoplasia

Abstract

This article describes a minimally invasive technique for removal of intrinsic enamel stains and discoloration. The technique is based on enamel microabrasion with application of an acid-abrasive gel. Treatment may be complemented with composite resin to compensate for the effects of acid or to finish the masking effect. © 2011 Operative Dentistry, Inc.
