Bleaching

Traumatic injuries and other root canal causes may cause staining of the dentinal portion of the tooth's crown. Unlike enamel dentin readily absorbs micro-material that can discolor the crown of a tooth. The enamel is not involved although the tooth will look brown, tan, or gray. This type of discoloration will not be corrected by external bleaches or tray type bleaching. Internal bleaching or "walking bleach" is performed by placing a mixture of sodium perborate and superoxol in the area where an endodontic access opening was made during root canal treatment. The bleach paste is covered with a hard cement, and usually checked a week later. The discoloration is usually corrected in one to three bleach procedures. Anesthetic is rarely needed to bleach an already endodontically treated tooth. If initial bleaching does not give a satisfactory result a crown or veneer may be needed.
