Purpose: To review of the current status of enamel microabrasion method and its results 18 years after the development and application of this method.

Much has been learned about the application of this esthetic technique, long-term treatment results and microscopic changes to the enamel surface that has significant clinical implications. The latest treatment protocol is presented and photographic case histories document the treatment results. Clinical observations made over 18 years are discussed.
