Minocycline-induced staining of the adult permanent dentition: a review of the literature and report of a case.
Tetracycline staining of teeth during tooth development is well documented. We report here the rarer condition of tetracycline staining of adult teeth. This occurrence appears to involve enamel surface demineralization/remineralization and can produce staining clinically indistinguishable from that occurring during tooth development.
