MANAGEMENT OF COMPLICATED TOOTH FRACTURE USING FIBER POST AND FRAGMENT REATTACHMENT: A CASE REPORT

Saurabh R. Ramtekkar, Manjusha M. Warhadpande

Abstract :

Crown fracture of anterior teeth is common sequelae of dental trauma. In case of complex tooth fractures, if the fractured fragment is available, close approximation of the fragment to the remaining tooth structure is possible. Root canal treatment followed by reattachment of the fractured fragment reinforced with fiber post is a good treatment option in such cases. This procedure is conservative and has many advantages over other forms of restorations such as exact restoration of the crown form, surface morphology, color, and minimal violation of biologic width. This case report highlights a complex coronal tooth fracture which was successfully managed using reattachment with fiber post reinforcement.
