The treatment of tooth discoloration consists of identifying the etiology and implementing the required therapy.In the management of patients with discolored tooth, an understanding of the mechanism behind the discoloration is of relevance to the dental practitioner as it can be valuable in the decision-making process when considering how to treat the condition. An understanding of the pathological process involved can assist in explaining the cause to anxious or concerned patients/ parents. The management may involve a simple prophylaxis for extrinsic staining, or a combination of bleaching and microabrasion techniques for various intrinsic stains or even more invasive veneers or crowns. Internalized stains may be managed by bleaching, but more usually require restorative procedures ranging from the placement of simple composites to veneers and crowns.
