Esthetic rehabilitation of discolored anterior teeth with porcelain veneers
A 21-year-old girl had reported to the Department of Prosthodontics in Government Dental College and Hospital, Nagpur with the chief complaint of discolored teeth. Clinical examination revealed that all maxillary anterior teeth were discolored with brownish bands of discoloration prominently on the middle third and cervical third without any pitting or grooves []. Due to young age, patient was insisting for esthetic correction of anterior teeth. The clinical examination and history revealed that the present discoloration was due to fluorosis stains. Radiographic and clinical examination did not reveal any periapical pathological condition, so esthetic correction with more conservative procedure and porcelain veneers for maxillary anterior teeth were planned. Diagnostic impressions were made and diagnostic wax-up was carried out. The teeth were esthetically contoured and then prepared for porcelain veneers.
