title: Carbamide peroxide bleaching of teeth with dentinogenesis imperfecta discoloration: report of a case.
abstract: Carbamide peroxide dental bleaching has gained much popularity in the past 5 years. Because tooth discoloration caused by dentinogenesis imperfecta involves deep, dark, dentinal stain, practitioners might believe that affected teeth would be resistant to color improvement by bleaching. This article reports the successful use of carbamide peroxide at-home bleaching in a teenager with dentinogenesis imperfecta. Six-month treatment results are shown.
