Reattachment of fractured anterior tooth using Ribbond and an esthetic post-A case report

Abstract

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. The immediate fragment reattachment is a very conservative treatment. It allows the restoration of the original dental anatomy thus rehabilitating function and aesthetics in a short time by preserving dental tissues. This paper presents the clinical sequence of reattaching the fractured fragment of maxillary lateral incisor (22) with esthetic post and ribbond, resulting in immediate natural esthetics by using the original tooth fragment.
