Abstract :
Dental fluorosis is a dental pathology caused
by excessive ingestion of fluoride during the first years of
life. Excess of fluoride will thus disrupt the normal
formation of enamel crystals during amelogenesis and
lead to the formation of an often unsightly porous
enamel. The degree of severity of fluorosis can be
established precisely using different classifications and
depends on the ingested dose, the frequency of ingestion,
the age of the subject and individual variability. The
reason for consultation of patients with fluorosis is
mainly aesthetic. The choice of treatment was based on
the stage of fluorosis. There are currently very
conservative therapies such as whitening or micro-
abrasion, which can effectively treat mild or even
moderate fluorosis. Treatment with bonded ceramic
veneers or full-coverage prostheses is only indicated for
cases of moderate and severe fluorosis because of their
aesthetic interest and their mechanical and biological
properties. It will therefore be appropriate for the
partitionner to make a precise diagnosis and to choose
the best suited therapy to his patient.Our papier will present and discuss 3 clinical cases
about the managment of dental fluorosis.
