A Novel Conservative Approach Of Fragment Reattachment : a case report

Abstract

Crown reattachment is the most conservative treatment approach used to restore fractured tooth, presumably with sufficient strength, while maintaining original contour, incisal translucency, and subsequently reducing chairside time and cost. This article presents a case of an 18-year-old male with fractured left maxillary central incisor. Reattachment of the fractured fragment was done using a bonding technique and light cure composite followed by Splinting of the fractured tooth. The techniques described in this case report for reattachment and splinting are reasonably simple and novel, while restoring providing long-lasting esthetics, improved function, positive psychological response with a very conservative approach.
