Abstract

Teeth stains can broadly be classified into two types; Extrinsic and Intrinsic stains, the latter being harder to remove. The etiology of discolouration is vast which could be due to diet, medication, fluorosis or any systemic illness. Extrinsic stains are mainly on the outer surface of the tooth (Ex: Tea stains, Tobacco stains) and Intrinsic stains are present mainly within the tooth structure (Ex: systemic stains, fluorosis). Tooth bleaching is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at improving the aesthetics of the smile and thereby increasing the patient satisfaction. This case report documents the successful application of a combination therapy for vital tooth bleaching by using walk in bleach as well as laser bleaching for the patients aesthetic considerations
