ABSTRACT

Today, the concept of a beautiful smile is all about white teeth. Several solutions can be proposed to reduce dyschromia of non-vital teeth. Internal bleaching is the least mutilating technique. This technique gives good results if the indications are well defined, the operative protocol followed and the precautions taken. Internal bleaching uses bleaching agents placed in the pulp chamber, possibly supplemented by ambulatory bleaching with carbamide peroxide. The aim of this paper is to present, through a case study, the various clinical steps involved in the management of a dyschromic non-vital anterior tooth.
