Abstract

ABSTRACTThe incidence of coronal fractures from traumatic injuries is high in school children and causes serious functional, esthetic and psychological problems. Dentists are confronted on a regular basis with their management. Reattachment of a fractured fragment, though not a new technique, is gaining interest as a treatment option. This is due to its advantages over other techniques and advancements in adhesive dentistry. This manuscript presents a 3-year follow-up of a case of complicated permanent mandibular central incisor fracture (no cases reported in literature), that was successfully treated by fragment reattachment using a fiber-reinforced post and discusses the factors affecting the success of reattachment technique.How to cite this articleKarthikeyani S, Thirumurthy VR, Bindhoo Y.
