Abstract
Dental fluorosis in children causes moderate to severe discoloration on tooth surface. Treatment options for fluorosis vary with severity which renders an unmet need to choose effectively the treatment modality for aesthetic rehabilitation of teeth with dental fluorosis. This case series is based on rehabilitation of teeth with moderate to severe fluorosis. A 30 year old male patient presented with a chief complaint of compromised esthetics due to teeth discoloration whereas a 23 year old male patient presented with complaint of discolored upper anterior teeth. Considering the age of the patient, economic status and severity of fluorosis, full jacket crown was considered the treatment option for 30 year old patient and composite veneering for 23 year old patient.
