Minimally invasive treatments have emerged as alternatives to conventional restorations, but quantitative evaluation of their outcomes is limited. The objective of this case report was to assess the efficacy of a combined minimally invasive approach in improving enamel appearance using objective color and fluorescence measurements. A 23-year-old male patient presented with enamel hypoplasia and opacities on 24 teeth. The treatment protocol included: (1) three weeks of at-home bleaching with 16% carbamide peroxide using a custom tray; (2) micro-abrasion with 6.6% hydrochloric acid and silicon carbide slurry followed by 5% sodium fluoride varnish; and (3) applications of 15% hydrochloric acid etching, drying, and resin infiltration. The patient was advised to use a remineralization agent for one month. Fluorescence measurements and color contact-spectrophotometer readings were recorded at baseline, after each treatment stage, and during six- and 12-month follow-ups. Marked improvements in enamel color and fluorescence were observed after bleaching and resin infiltration, and despite a slight decline over time, values remained superior to initial measurements during follow-ups. This multistage minimally invasive approach achieved substantial improvements in enamel appearance, demonstrating its effectiveness for managing enamel opacities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2341\/25-116-c","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,10]],"date-time":"2026-07-10T12:24:58Z","timestamp":1783686298000},"page":"6-19","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Minimally
