title: Improved esthetics with a combined bleaching technique: a case report.
abstract: This paper describes a clinical case in which a combination bleaching technique was used to improve the appearance of the patient's discolored anterior teeth. Enamel microabrasion was used first to remove superficial fluorosis stains. A home bleaching regimen was then used to lighten the overall shade of the teeth, which had appeared more yellow after microabrasion.
