The clinical management of complicated crown root fractures: A Case report with literature review

Dr. Arun Kumar Patnana, Dr. Narasimha Rao V Vanga

Abstract :

The treatment of complicated crown root fractures is always challenging in children and young adolescents. Though, different treatment approaches were proposed, the reattachment of the tooth fragment to a fractured tooth remains as the treatment of choice if the fractured segment is available or stored under proper conditions. The main advantages with reattachment technique includes simple in technique, aesthetics, and conservation of tooth structure. The fracture line below the gingival tissue, isolation conditions and storage of the fractured fragment determines the clinical success of the complicated crown root fractures. This report presents a case of complicated crown–root fracture of permanent maxillary left central incisor, in a eleven year old boy. The traumatised tooth was treated by regular root canal treatment, followed by post and core and reattachment of the fractured tooth fragment.
