Abstract

  Enamel defects are often qualitative in nature and appear as white spots on the tooth surface. Increasingly, patients are asking for these imperfections to be treated and it is now possible to intervene with minimally invasive methods to restore the aesthetics of these dental elements. In this case report, we report the case of a 19-year-old patient suffering from White Spot Lesion (WSL) and treated with home bleaching followed by resin infiltration of the lesions. The treatment satisfied the patient and the clinicians.
