Incisal edge reattachment: indications for use and clinical technique

Reattachment of a Vertical Complicated Subgingival Crown Root Fracture in a 10-Year Old Child: A Case Report

“…Although the reattachment is susceptible to the effects of cyclic fatigue and hydrolytic degradation over time, various studies have described functional and esthetic successes exceeding 7 years 4. In the present case "Patient came for the follow-up at the end of the third month (Figs 18 and 19) and 6 months (Fig.…”

“…The fractured fragment and the main tooth were cleaned using pumice and water slurry 4. Surfaces of the fractured fragment and the main tooth structure were etched with 34% phosphoric acid gel (Dentsply, USA) for 15 seconds, washed and dried moist (Fig.…”

Natural Rehabilitation of Fractured Anterior Tooth Using Reattachment, a Single Visit Endo- Esthetic Approach- A Case Report

“…Andreasen and Andreasen stated that the reattachment procedure may importantly serve as a transitional treatment alternative for pre-teens or teenage patients to postpone definitive treatment until an age where gingival margin contours are relatively stable. [16] According to Basuttil and Fung, when the child's age shows immature development of the fractured tooth's gingival margins, the application of more conservative methods for reconstruction, such as reattachment, are desirable. [2] In cases where the patient is undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment or is likely to undergo fixed orthodontic treatment in the near future, the reattachment technique allows performing such treatment and seems to be advantageous and reliable as reported by Simonsen.…”

A new clinical approach for rehabilitation of crown fracture by fragment reattachment – A case report

“…Most commonly observed traumatic injury in permanent dentition is fracture of the tooth and is more commonly seen in children and adolescents. 1 In permanent dentition also, anterior teeth are more commonly affected as compared to the posteriors such as central incisors (80%)and lateral incisors (16%) due to their protrusive eruptive pattern and anterior positioning in dental arch. 2 Dental traumatic injuries of deciduous and permanent teeth are classified in many ways.…”

“…Therefore treatment options that simplify treatment, preserve original tooth structure, restore or reestablish aesthetics and increase longterm success rates must be considered and followed. 1 Depending upon the extent of fracture, retrievability of fractured fragment, chances of reestablishment of esthetics and occlusion and restorability of the tooth involved, the treatment options may vary. 5 Even though the advancements in adhesive materials and restorative techniques are touching new horizons still there is no ideal restorative material that can reproduce the esthetic and functional needs comparable to natural dental structures.…”
