The power of reattachment: Conservative restoration of fractured anterior teeth

Abstract

Coronal fractures of anterior teeth are amongst the most common dental trauma related condition which significantly hamper effective treatment plan. Among various therapeutic options, reattachment of a fractured crown fragment is a conservative approach that merits consideration for cases of crown fractures involving anterior teeth. This case illustrates a complex treatment sequence involving gutta percha removal, root canal debridement, and obturation. The success rate of endodontic treatment can be maximized by meticulously adhering to standard clinical practices and using advanced techniques. The advantages of direct composite veneers include minimal tooth preparation requirements, reversibility of treatment, absence of the need for an extra adhesive cementing system, and economical cost in comparison to indirect procedures and alternative restoration systems.
