Whitening non vital teeth - a case report

Iren Moraru et al. Curr Health Sci J. 2012 Jul.

Abstract

Commonly used in cosmetic dentistry teeth whitening can be used combined with other restorative techniques during dental treatment. Non-vital teeth whitening is necessary whenever we need an improvement of their aspect, as it's a known fact that these teeth can have a grey or pink-grey coloration when they are not correctly endodontical treated.

Keywords: non-vital teeth; teeth whitening.
