Abstract :

Children and adolescents are commonly affected by traumatic dental injuries that mainly include coronal fractures of anterior teeth. One of the alternative for managing such tooth fractures is the reattachment of the dental fragment when the tooth fragment is available and there is no or minimal violation of the biological width. Fractured tooth fragments reattachment can provide good and long–lasting esthetics. It restores function and provides a positive psychological response as tooth�s original anatomic form, colour, and surface texture are maintained and is a relatively simple procedure. Prognosis of the case highly depends on patient cooperation and understanding of the limitations of the treatment. This article reports highlights treatment of a coronal tooth fracture case that was successfully treated using tooth fragment reattachment.
