Abstract

White, healthy teeth improve personality and boost self-esteem. Teeth discoloration is a common dental finding linked to clinical and cosmeceutical issues that vary in severity, cause, composition, location, and appearance. Before beginning therapy, it is essential to determine the origin and extent of tooth discoloration. Trials constituted the majority of research on the elimination and treatment of tooth discoloration. There has been a lot of discussion on the psychological and social effects of tooth discoloration on patients. Teeth can become discolored for a variety of etiological causes, which can also affect how they seem, where they are, and how severe they are. The major causes of tooth discoloration include inherent and external factors. Depending on the underlying cause and extent of the lesion, many treatment options are possible. Enamel micro abrasion, bleaching, veneers, and crowns are all possible forms of treatment. A tooth's discoloration can dull a smile's luster. Managing individuals with discolored teeth requires an understanding of the origins of the condition since they may influence the course of treatment.In some circumstances, it may even have an impact on the effectiveness of the treatment. Understanding the pathological mechanism behind tooth discoloration can also help the dentist accurately describe the situation to the patient.
