Abstract
Tooth discoloration among children is often accompanied by dissatisfaction in appearance, leading to adverse psychological effects. Aesthetics is a common concern in routine clinical practice and, it is an integral component for psycho-emotional development of the child in its environment. Most of the reviews on bleaching describe bleaching techniques in permanent teeth. This review provides an overview on bleaching of primary teeth and bridges the gap in literature.
