Best treatment for moderate intrinsic TETRACYCLINE STAINING of anterior teeth?

  1. Porcelain veneers
  2. Microabrasion alone
  3. Full coverage crowns
  4. In-office bleaching only
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Porcelain veneers

PORCELAIN VENEERS = best option for tetracycline staining — effectively masks intrinsic discoloration that bleaching cannot reliably treat. Microabrasion = only surface enamel (ineffective for intrinsic staining). Bleaching = variable results for tetracycline staining, may require months. Veneers = best esthetic-to-conservative balance.
