Single discolored tooth: an alternative treatment approach.
A single discolored tooth is often difficult to treat, but one with an obliterated pulp chamber and root canal presents an even greater challenge. The use of nightguard bleaching is offered as a simpler, alternative treatment to either root canal therapy or the removal of sound tooth structure for fabrication of a facial veneer or a complete-coverage crown.
