Abstract
Satisfying patients’ high expectations for dental esthetics is one of the challenges in contemporary dental
therapy for both clinicians and dental technicians. The prevalence of dental fluorosis appears high in some area. Its
severe form results in great psychological distress to the affected individual. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate
the use of restorative materials used for treatment of different levels of fluorosis for a young patient. Maxillary individual
crowns were constructed and cemented for a 30 years old teacher male patient presenting with severe fluorosis along
with missing maxillary right canine tooth. The lower teeth were treated with in-office bleaching. These types of treatment
by all ceramic crowns and in-office bleaching boosted the self-esteem of the patient with better social interaction
especially as a teacher by profession.
