Abstract

Both deciduous and permanent teeth can show severe discoloration due to external and internal pigments. Teeth change color over time due to genetic and environmental factors, and spots appear on their surfaces. However, discoloration and stains on the surface of the tooth are different from each other, and this makes their treatment methods also different.

Keywords: Teeth Discoloration; Stains; Genetic and Environmental Factors
