Abstract
Enamel microabrasion has been used to remove hypomineralized areas caused by enamel fluorosis or those caused by an idiopathic condition. The combination of at-home whitening with 10 % carbamide peroxide in a custom-fitted tray and enamel microabrasion is discussed and illustrated in this chapter as a successful treatment combination in cases of brown fluorosis stains that are not completely eliminated with at-home whitening.
#Dr. Homer is a former University of Minnesota School of Dentistry student.
