Sammanfattning
The article focuses on minimally invasive treatment to improve aesthetics, with particular
emphasis on the microabrasion technique. Background and a practical guide are given. Clinical
cases with different diagnoses and treatment choices are presented. Other minimally invasive
techniques such as bleaching and infiltration are also shortly discussed. When considering the
clinical procedures, results, longevity and side effects of available minimally invasive treatment
approaches, the microabrasion technique alone or in combination with a bleaching procedure is a
promising method. It is a well proven, safe, quick and inexpensive treatment of poor aesthetics
caused by enamel opacities/ staining due to fluorosis (TF scores 1-3). When it comes to opacities
due to molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) and white spot carious lesions, the results are more
uncertain. In some cases, alternative procedures like resin infiltration or invasive treatment like
veneers may be required.
