The main consequence of dental fluorosis is the aesthetic compromise for the patient. Moderate cases of fluorosis in young patients can be treated with a combination of minimally invasive techniques to better mask the lesions. The purpose of this case report is to evaluate the effect of tooth whitening after 15 months of previous treatment with resinous infiltrant, to mask moderate fluorosis lesions. A 21-year-old male patient, diagnosed with moderate fluorosis in the anterior and posterior teeth, of both arches, as initially treated with the use of resinous infiltrant to mask the lesions. After 15 months of this treatment, the patient complained about the staining of teeth that were yellowish in appearance. It was proposed to carry out the homemade whitening technique, using prefabricated trays and already loaded with 15% hydrogen peroxide gel, for 10 days, using the trays for a period of 1 hour/day. Before starting the bleaching treatment, initial and control photos were taken, repeated immediately after the end of the bleaching treatment. The results of this treatment show that there was a change in the color shade of the enamel, with an improvement in the yellowish aspect and greater masking of the opacities. It can be concluded that the realization of home tooth whitening 15 months after treatment with resinous infiltrant showed a positive result in the change of enamel shade, with improvement in the masking of fluorotic spots, being an effective therapeutic alternative for cases of white spots caused by dental fluorosis.
