Abstract
Discolored teeth are seen frequently in the dental office and present a major challenge to dentists. It is essential to recognize the causes in order of establishing appropriate therapy. One of the reasons for tooth discoloration is due to a traumatic injury. This discoloration can vary from pink, yellow or dark gray, depending primarily on the degree of pulp condition and response following injury. The dental pulp may become inflamed and bleed or may mineralize as post traumatic sequelae. Of these conditions depend upon the color change of the affected tooth. To ignore pulpar responses can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
