| Marisha Bhandari, Sheetal Grover | |
Aim: Traumatized anterior teeth require quick functional and aesthetic repair. The treatment modality varies from simple reattachment to complex interdisciplinary approach. Treatment alternatives for fractures involving biologic width include crown lengthening, flap surgery, osteotomy and rapid orthodontic tooth extrusion. Case Description: A 35-year old patient, reported with a history of trauma, 2 days back. The clinical examination revealed vertically fractured Maxillary left Central Incisors and the fracture involved enamel, dentin, pulp and cementum. A more conservative approach was decided to restore the form, function and aesthetics of the tooth using Polyethylene fibre and Dual cure resin cement. Conclusion: Several aspects govern the choice of a technique or the association of materials for fragment reattachment. Reattachment proved to be a successful technique for restoring immediate aesthetics and function. However, because few long term studies have been reported in literature, the patient should be informed of possible interim nature of the treatment. |
