Nothing could be more desirable than a sparkling white smile. A shining, beautiful smile has been a symbol of health & vitality since the centenary. Discoloration of a tooth is a common esthetic problem caused by either extrinsic or intrinsic factor. The normal color of tooth can be re-established by decolorizing the stain with the powerful oxidizing agent such as 35 percent hydrogen peroxide, which is directly placed on the labial surface of the tooth to be treated. Dental bleaching offers a conservative & simplified approach to change the color of discolored teeth. This case report reflects the remarkable change of tooth color by in-office bleaching.
