Abstract :

 Enamel microaasion is an alternative treatment to eliminate enamel irregularities and discoloration defects, thus improving the teeth appearance. Enamel microaasion improves the appearance of the tooth by restoring ight and superficial smoothness, without causing significant structural loss especially in young patient. Tooth discoloration is an aesthetic problem for certain patients. The aim of this paper was to report the clinical cases of two patients whose aesthetics was re–established using enamel microaasion technique, with 18% hydrochloric acid and pumice slurry. This method has been shown to be a safe and efficient method for removing fluorosis stains. Microaasion followed by composite restoration may be considered as an alternative treatment for discoloured teeth.
