Clinical Case: Non-invasive Restorative Treatment of a Discolored Lateral Incisor
February 18, 2021 | Prof. Paulo Monteiro
About the Case
A 40-year-old male patient was unhappy with the discoloration on his maxillary right lateral incisor that appeared after endodontic treatment. An internal bleaching treatment had not resulted in the desired outcome, so a restorative treatment was needed to obtain a tooth shade similar to that of the adjacent teeth.
