Abstract

A 30-year-old patient, from Gaza (Palestine), came to the School of Dental Medicine dissatisfied with the aesthetic appearance of his teeth. Clinically, visible changes were observed on the surface o f the teeth in the form of dark-brown spots, fissures and pits on the enamel
and pronounced attrition. On the basis of the clinical status dental flu orosis, grade VIII, according to Thylstrup and Fejerskov, was diagnosed. Attempts were made to determine the reasons for such pronounced fluorosis. A possible etiologic factor was inadequate fluoridation of drinking water. Therapy and correction o f aesthetic appearance was carried out with the composite material Tetric (Vivadent) in combination with Syntac Single Component adhesive system V. generation, which enabled better adhesion to the hard dental tissue.
