Bleaching of a non‑vital anterior tooth to remove the intrinsic discoloration
Keywords:
bleaching, discoloration, walking bleaching method, non-vital bleachingAbstract
Discoloration of tooth can be extrinsic or intrinsic based on its etiology, site, appearance, and severity. It poses esthetic problem which could be a prime concern for many patients, especially in anterior region of teeth that may be compromised due to previous trauma, caries, or failed restorations. Bleaching is a more conservative approach which is noninvasive as compared with other prosthodontic options like crowns or veneers. Among various bleaching techniques, “Walking bleach technique” is preferred, as it provides better cosmetic outcome with limited side effects. This article aims at presenting a case on walking bleach method performed on endodontically treated teeth, after which a satisfactory aesthetic result was achieved.
