Abstract
Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. Reattachment of the fractured anterior tooth, if the tooth fragment is available, is highly conservative and provides good esthetics as the (because the tooth′s original anatomic form, color, and surface texture are maintained) esthetic treatment has gained popularity in the recent past. It also restores function, provides a positive psychological response, and is a relatively simple procedure. This article reports on two coronal tooth fracture cases that were successfully treated using tooth fragment reattachment.
