Abstract
Dental fluorosis and hypocalcification manifest as white spot lesions and/or brown
discolorations. With dental fluorosis, mottled layers in enamel can also be present
depending on severity. Treatment options have varied in such situations, depending
on severity, and can range from conservative to more invasive. This clinical report
focuses on a combination of bleaching and resin infiltration as one of the more conservative
treatment options.
