“…According to the findings of the previous studies, greater protection of pulp vitality should be afforded to teeth whose root development is incomplete than that given to teeth with a closed apex [1, 3,4]. If dental vitality cannot be protected, endodontic treatment must be initiated [4]. Pathology, that might have affected dental prognosis, was not observed following clinical and radiological assessment in our case there was no any pathological sign.…”

“…The objective of treating teeth with a root fracture is to protect pulpal vitality and to assist the tooth to regain its function. According to the findings of the previous studies, greater protection of pulp vitality should be afforded to teeth whose root development is incomplete than that given to teeth with a closed apex [1, 3,4]. If dental vitality cannot be protected, endodontic treatment must be initiated [4].…”

Objective: Oblique root fractures consist of multiple, angled fracture lines extending from the root canal to the periodontal membrane along the long axis of the tooth. Oblique root fractures are injuries with poor prognosis which are rarely observed in teeth in which the root development is complete. Methods:A clinical and radiological inspection was performed of an eight-year-old patient who presented at our clinic for dental trauma. Luxation and oblique sectional root fractures in the maxillary incisors were found. The patient's root development was incomplete. He was treated with dental reposition. Fixation to the adjacent primary canine teeth was carried out using a 0.4 mm full circle orthodontic wire for fractured teeth with a semi-rigid splint. Stabilization of the teeth was ensured to protect the vitality of the fractured teeth. A splint was inserted under local anaesthesia and removed a month later. Results:The absence of pathological symptoms was determined radiologically and clinically. It was shown during a radiological examination of the patient a year later that root development inthe teeth with a root fracture had continued. There were no pathological complications. Conclusion:The current study finding of high recovery potential in young permanent teeth with root fracture is supported by those of other studies in the literature. Recovery in this case was successful because the patient presented timeously at the clinic after the trauma, there was a lack of infection, and the splint was only in situ for a month.

“…The reports suggest that 70% of such injuries involve the maxillary central incisors followed by maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors. [1][2][3][4] Depending on age, the incidence is higher in male than in female, with male: Female ratios varying from 2:1 to 3:1. 5 Coronal fractures of permanent incisors represent 18 to 22% of all trauma to dental hard tissues, 28 to 44% being simple (enamel + dentin), and 11 to 15%, complex (enamel + dentin + pulp).…”

Anterior crown fractures are common form of traumatic dental injuries that mainly affect the maxillary anterior teeth in children, teenagers as well as adult population. A trauma with accompanying fracture of anterior teeth is an agonizing experience for an individual requiring immediate attention, not only because of the physical disfigurement but also because of the psychological impact on the patient. Over time numerous techniques and materials have evolved for the restoration of the injured teeth, such as, resin composite with or without pin, orthodontic bands, resin crown, and ceramic crowns. Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments can provide good and long-lasting esthetics and function. Patient cooperation and understanding of the limitations of the treatment is important for good prognosis. This article reports management of complicated coronal tooth fracture treated by reattachment on tooth fragments on the palatal aspect and single visit nonsurgical endodontic treatment.

This case report demonstrates sequential Periodontic, Orthodontic and Prosthodontic treatment modalities to save and restore deep horizontally fractured maxillary central incisor. The location of fracture was deep in the mucosa which reveals less than 2 mm of tooth structure to receive the crown. The procedures like surgical crown lengthening, endodontic post placement, orthodontic forced eruption, core build-up and metal-ceramic crown restoration were sequentially performed to conserve the fractured tooth. Forced eruption is preferred to surgical removal of supporting alveolar bone, since forced eruption preserves the biologic width, maintains esthetics, and at the same time exposes sound tooth structure for the placement of restorative margins.
