Abstract
Mottling of teeth can have significant psychological impact on patients–particularly on adolescents, who may be subjected to much unkind teasing. A number of procedures have been suggested for removal of mottling and stains. The authors describe a simple and quick technique using a paste of hydrochloric acid and pumice, and on the basis of their clinical and laboratory experience suggest it as a treatment of first choice.
