| Sumario: | Introduction: Some important factors for establishing social interactions seem to be the physicalattractiveness and facial appearance, and dental color is one of the most important characteristicscorrelated with the aesthetics. The microabrasion is a conservative, atraumatic and non restorativetechnique that removes a superficial layer of enamel that has some defects of texture or color such asbrown or white opacities. Case description: Case 1. A 35 year old female showed generalized TF grade4 and 5 fluorosis. The enamel microabrasion consisted of 3 applications in the upper teeth and 2 moreapplications on the central incisors and on the right lateral teeth. Case 2. A 42 year old male presentedTF grade 3 and 4 fluorosis. The enamel microabrasion consisted of four applications in the lower teethand 2 applications on the upper teeth. Discussion: The success of enamel microabrasion depends onthe location and depth of the enamel defect. Before treatment, patients should be informed that theymay required a bonded composite restoration or a bleaching treatment, because the depth of the enameldiscoloration is uncertain. |
