History of present complaints (HPC): Discoloured, eroded & fractured unaesthetic anterior teeth; Aesthetically disturbing smile line.
Clinical presentations: 1. Discoloured fractured unaesthetic anterior teeth; 2. Attrition and Erosion, 3. Deflective lateral group function.
Specialist treatment schedule: 1) Full mouth hygienist and Air-flow treatment and stable periodontal health; 2) Combined home-office teeth whitening with Carbamide peroxide; 3) Restoration of canine rise/guidance; 4) Restoration of all teeth surfaces with erosion and attrition; 5) Provisional labial restorations for 2 months to achieve and establish anatomic biologic width & smile design; 6) New aesthetic natural laminate porcelain veneers 12- 11 – 21 – 22.
Case #280 : Tooth Whitening

History of the present complaint: Aesthetically disturbing severely discoloured tooth UR1.
Radiographic examination: 11 Apicectomy, 11 and 21 apical root resorption.
Differential diagnosis of tooth discolouration: Intra/extracoronal amalgam- and intracoronal GP- induced discolouration.
Clinical intervention: External in-office bleaching technique as a supplement to the walking bleaching technique was repeated under the first 2 visits.
Scientific evidence: The evidence from the literature suggest that the management of discoloured endodontically treated teeth by means of combined intracoronal bleaching technique bleaching is a valid treatment modality in terms of safety, efficacy, time efficiency and aesthetic outcome (Goldstein et al 1989, Amato et al. 2006). The result from the 16-year prospective study by Amato et al. (2006) also demonstrated the chromatic stability of nonvital discoloured teeth, when subjected to the combined intracoronal bleaching technique. The clinical outcome has vastly improved the poor appearance of the upper right central incisor. Further follow-up of chromatic stability and shade recording is required.
