The purpose of this article is to present the effect and follow-up results of combined single-tooth vital bleaching when discoloration is due to pulp canal obliteration. In these cases, discoloration was managed successfully via home bleaching with a customized single-tooth tray and in-office bleaching without root canal treatment.
