Endo-Aesthetic rehabilitation of complicated crown-root fracture of maxillary lateral incisor by fragment reattachment: A case report

Abstract

In case of traumatic injuries to the anterior teeth, fragment reattachment is considered a minimally invasive technique. Re-attaching the same tooth fragment, possesses the advantage, of biomimicry by complete restoration of form, function, texture, lustre, and translucency. Due to advancements in adhesive dentistry, simple re-attachment to complex fragment rehabilitation have become predictable and reliable. Various techniques have been proposed for fragment reattachment based on the extent of injury, type of injury, condition of the fragment, and time- lapse. This case report demonstrates the endo-aesthetic rehabilitation of a complicated crown root fracture using a fiber post on lateral incisor with fracture line on the cervical 1/3of the labial aspect, running obliquely and apically towards the palatal surface after 1 year follow-up.
