FRACTURED MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISORS

Abstract

Fractured incisors are restored with composite resin is a routine procedure. Theretention of composite restoration is related to the bond strength of adhesive and the surfacearea existing for bonding. In absence of adequate bonding areas in fractured tooth of youngerindividuals with resilient dentin, additional retention through placement of self threaded pinswill give the required support and maintain esthetics. additional retentive means, in the form ofpins are often required for restoration of damaged and broken tooth, particularly in adolescentpatient’s teeth where pulp chamber is comparatively large, dentinal tubules are relativelyimmature and still gingival lines are high. The threading acts scatter and devour some of theplacing energy by cutting part of pin channel in the dentinal walls. This case report fuses theretentive feature of self threaded pin with the esthetic advantage of composite restoration infractured anterior teeth.
