A Comprehensive Management of Complicated Anterior Maxillary Crown Fracture in a 15-year-old Adolescent

Pallawi et al. Int J Clin Pediatr Dent. 2020 May-Jun.

Abstract

Dental trauma to anterior maxillary teeth is a frequent incidence in young patients. Pediatric dentists have to deal with such dental traumatic injuries on a regular basis in their daily routine practice. Several studies have reported reattachment of traumatized fractured tooth segment with or without post placement using dentine bonding agent and adhesive resin cement. This case report presents a comprehensive and multidisciplinary management of maxillary anterior teeth with complicated crown fracture and its reattachment with prefabricated glass-reinforced composite fiber post and dual-cure adhesive resin followed by a permanent restoration.
