Tooth Fragment Reattachment and a Class IV Restoration: Case Report

Abstract

If immediately following a traumatic event, the detached fragments is gathered and brought to the emergency room with the patient, the fragment reattachment should be considered one option for the treatment plan. Store the tooth fragment in an correct solution, apply an appropriate resin composite material and add a proper mechanical retention, may offer higher esthetic result, better bond strength and improved clinical longevity, compared with other types of restorative procedures.

“…It will therefore be less than ideal, and the fragment can regain its normal coloration after only two weeks. [1,3,5,9,10] Compared to resin restoration, fragment reattachment can be considered as the most functional, conservative and esthetic treatment modality for crown fractures of maxillary incisors. [1,2,11] It has various advantages, including psychological ones, treatment rapidity, reproducing exact morphology and texture, and providing immediate esthetics.…”

“…All of these methods have their advantages and disadvantages. [1,[19][20][21] In simple reattachment, fragments are restored without an additional preparation. The fragments are reat- The over-contour technique consists in performing a 0.3 mm-deep preparation in the buccal fracture line using a round diamond bur.…”

“…The patient's age, the extension of the crown fracture, the presence of direct pulp exposure, the stage of radicular development, and the type of occlusion must be taken into account in order to choose the best treatment for each patient. [1][2][3][4] Other factors are also crucial in the process of choosing the right treatment alternative at the moment of the fracture. Indeed, treatment must be esthetic, simple, and conservative.…”
