Abstract
Objective: Teeth discoloration is a rare orthodontic complication. The aimof this study was to report the clinical progression of discoloration duringorthodontic treatment.
Methods: Discolored teeth, detected during orthodontictreatment between January 2003 and December 2012 by a single dentist usingsimilar techniques and appliances, were analyzed.
Results: The total numberof teeth that showed discoloration was 28. Progression of discoloration wasevaluated in only 24 teeth that were observed without any treatment. Duringthe observation period, the discoloration “improved” in 8 of the 24 teeth(33.3%) and was “maintained” in 16 (66.6%). The electric pulp test performedat the time of initial detection of discoloration showed 14.3% positivity, whichimproved to 21.4% at the final follow-up. None of the initial and final followupradiographic findings showed any abnormalities.
Conclusions: When teethdiscoloration is detected during orthodontic treatment, observation as an initialmanagement is recommended over immediate treatments.
