Abstract In today’s image-conscious society, aesthetics significantly influence personal grooming and self-confidence. Increasingly, individuals across diverse communities are recognizing the value of a confident smile. In regions where groundwater is a primary drinking source, enamel discoloration and surface irregularities associated with excess mineral exposure are frequently observed. Affected teeth may display a range of visual changes, including white spots, brown stains, and textural defects.
A variety of aesthetic treatment options exist for improving the appearance of such enamel conditions, including veneers, bleaching, crowns, and abrasion techniques. However, many advanced procedures can be cost-prohibitive or require specialized equipment and laboratory resources. Alternatively, enamel macroabrasion and microabrasion provide conservative and effective solutions for treating superficial enamel imperfections. Though these methods have been in clinical use for over a century, they are sometimes overshadowed by more invasive restorative approaches.
This clinical case report presents a conservative and cost-effective aesthetic solution through the combined use of enamel microabrasion, macroabrasion, and vital tooth bleaching to enhance smile appearance in a patient with enamel discoloration.
