Abstract :

Loss of tooth is a traumatic experience for any person. Naturally, their expectation from its replacement is not just for function but to restore esthetics as well. Extraction causes unavoidable resorption of alveolar ridge which leads to unaesthetic appearance especially in maxillary anterior region. Root banking is a procedure where the compromised tooth root stumps are preserved within the hard and soft tissues on which the prosthetic rehabilitation is carried out. This article presents the review with case report of a 21 year old male patient with fractured anterior teeth, where the fractured crown parts were replaced with fixed partial denture, preserving the remaining root part of the teeth within the tissues.
