Abstract

An array of treatment options is available for today’s dentists to reconcile a smile with discolored teeth. The treatment options available ranges from invasive options such as full crowns, veneers, direct restorations to minimally invasive options such as micro abrasion, macro abrasion, and bleaching. The most non-invasive and conservative treatment option is bleaching of teeth, hence gaining wider acceptance. The aim of this case report is to describe the use of in-office vital and non-vital tooth bleaching techniques with use of micro abrasion in one of cases.
