Description
Summary:Discolouration of teeth, especially the anteriores, can result in considerably cosmetic impairment in person. Combine effects of intrinsic and extrinsic colour determines the appearance of teeth. Whitening of teeth with bleaching is a more conservative therapeutic method than full crowns, veneers or composite restorations which is more invasive and expensive. Among bleaching techniques, in office bleaching with carbamide peroxide provide superior aesthetic result in short period of time with no adverse effects. This paper presents case series of tooth discolouration in non-vital tooth which was successfully bleached using 35 % carbamide peroxide. After 1 year follow up the prognosis was good with no reversal of tooth discolouration. This case report allows the better understanding of the concept of nonvital tooth bleaching with carbamide peroxide which gives a non-invasive alternative for aesthetic purpose in preserving the natural tooth structure.
