Abstract EN

Pink tooth of Mummery is typically found after trauma.

However, this case report describes an unusual occurrence of pink tooth in a 67-year-old Caucasian male after fixed partial denture (FPD) tooth preparation.

Pink tooth in this case may be due to one or more factors: tooth reduction and heat generation during tooth preparation; heat generation during polymerization of provisional material; and hyperocclusion of a provisional FPD.

This case highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate materials and techniques to avoid pulpal complications after dental prosthesis work.
