Abstract


Background:  Discoloration of non-vital anterior teeth is an esthetic deficiency frequently requiring bleaching treatment. Dentist should always consider teeth bleaching at the beginning of the esthetic treatment plan, regardless of the method that will be chosen conservative or prosthodontic. The most important parameter in non-vital bleaching is the placement of a barrier to prevent the resorption of the tooth which has a poor prognosis. This case report presents a case of successful non-vital bleaching by using an alternative novel material Biodentine as a barrier.

Keywords: Discoloured anterior teeth, non-vital bleaching, bleach barrier, external resorption.
