Abstract

Developmental disturbance of enamel such as dental fluorosis is caused by excessive fluoride on ameloblasts during amelogenesis. Patients are mostly concerned about their aesthetic appearance due to discoloration and loss of tooth structure. These cases are often complicated by poor management of periodontal disease, presenting a challenge during treatment. This case report describes a combination of surgical and aesthetic procedures in management of a severe case of dental fluorosis with brown surface discoloration and small defects combined with chronic generalised periodontitis.
