Conservative Management of Traumatic Tooth Fracture by Fracture Fragment Reattachment and Single Visit Nonsurgical Endodontic Treatment

Anterior crown fractures are common form of traumatic dental injuries that mainly affect the maxillary anterior teeth in children, teenagers as well as adult population. A trauma with accompanying fracture of anterior teeth is an agonizing experience for an individual requiring immediate attention, not only because of the physical disfigurement but also because of the psychological impact on the patient. Over time numerous techniques and materials have evolved for the restoration of the injured teeth, such as, resin composite with or without pin, orthodontic bands, resin crown, and ceramic crowns. Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments can provide good and long-lasting esthetics and function. Patient cooperation and understanding of the limitations of the treatment is important for good prognosis. This article reports management of complicated coronal tooth fracture treated by reattachment on tooth fragments on the palatal aspect and single visit nonsurgical endodontic treatment.
