Tooth surface stains

Overview

Tooth surface stains represent discoloration on tooth enamel caused by pigmented compounds adhering to the tooth surface or incorporated into tooth structure. This is fundamentally different from a protein, receptor, or enzymatic pathway. It is a clinical symptom or cosmetic condition, not a molecular or biological target suitable for structured therapeutic intervention. The staining results from diverse etiologies including chromogenic bacteria, iron-rich supplements, tobacco tar accumulation, and various medications.
