Abstract

Dental fluorosis is a condition of enamel hypo mineralization caused by the effects of excessive fluoride on ameloblasts during enamel development. The unaesthetic appearance of the anterior teeth affected by dental fluorosis represents the chief complaint of patients and request for aesthetic treatment. The treatment options of dental fluorosis are varied depending upon individual cases. This article described a minimally invasive technique to treat a moderate case of enamel fluorosis and to makeover the patient smile using direct composite resin laminate veneers. This technique was fast and easy to perform, improving the unaesthetic discolorations of the anterior teeth and correcting the existing abnormalities.
