Integrative management of complicated crown fracture

This case study explains and investigates a tooth fragment reattachment procedure used to repair crown fracture in anterior teeth. Such therapy provides for a more traditional approach towards traumatic coronal lesions while yet retaining aesthetics & function. The authors presented a clinical case scenario of a complicated crown fracture of a lateral incisor. This case is marked by trauma caused by a sports injury, which necessitated a variety of therapeutic options. We used a simple and conservative approach that did not require any tooth preparation. Adhesive reattachment is an uncomplicated technique for achieving greater aesthetic and functional results. According to our clinical experience, when both the tooth and the fractured fragment are intact, performing the technique of reattachment without tooth preparation is a predictable and a very efficient process. Reattachments techniques have outweighed resin composite restorations by resulting in better short as well as medium term outcome.
