title: The aesthetic management of severe dental fluorosis in the young patient.
abstract: The prevalence of dental fluorosis appears to be on the increase. Although in its mild form the condition is not considered to be of cosmetic significance, the more severe forms can cause great psychological distress to the affected individual. This article discusses the prevalence and mechanisms of dental fluorosis, and the aesthetic management of severe fluorosis in the young patient.
