Definitivetreatment for discolored anterior teeth withcalcification is usually provided by endodontictreatment with the use of internal and externalbleaching agents, as necessary. This article presentsthe conservative management of a vital tooth withan obliterated pulp chamber that led to changes intooth color. The benefits and limitations of the use ofin-office and home supervised bleaching techniquesare discussed.
