A biological approach to crown fracture: Fracture reattachment - A report of two cases

Abstract: The development of adhesive dentistry has allowed dentists to use the patient's own fragment to restore the fractured tooth, which is considered to be the most conservative method of treatment of crown fracture allowing restoration of original dental anatomy, thus rehabilitating function and esthetics in a short time by preserving dental tissues. The tooth fragment reattachment is preferred over full coverage crowns or composite resin restoration because it conserves sound tooth structure, and is more esthetic… Show more

“…Additional retention was placed which increases the micromechanical retention of the resin composite and adhesive bonding agent. Some retention features available for fragment reattachment are an external chamfer, beveling, over contour technique, and internal grove [14,15]. An internal groove was the mechanical retention elected in this clinical case because it preserves the enamel for adhesive attachment.…”

“…Over the last decade, many adhesive materials and different reattachment techniques have been studied in order to improve the durability of the repair. External chamfer, beveling, over contour technique and an internal grove, are examples procedures that may improve the retention of the fragment [13][14][15]. The purpose of this case presentation is to report a fragment reattachment technique following traumatic fracture of a central incisor on a child.…”

“…In this technique, the external bevel is performed to the fractured piece and the remainder of the tooth prior to reattachment. This encountered some degree of difficulty to reestablish accurate fit between the fractured piece and the remainder of the tooth (Vijayaprabha et al 2012). The over contour technique involves preparation of the buccal surface of both the fractured piece and the remainder of the tooth.…”

“…5 Despite recent developments in adhesive materials and restorative techniques, there is no restorative material that can reproduce the esthetic and function of the natural dental structures. 6 Although full ceramic crowns and laminate veneers provide satisfactory results with their good esthetic properties and color stabilities, these treatment approaches are very destructive in the restoration of fractured anterior teeth. 7 Compared with other restorative techniques, reattachment of fractured fragments, which offers improved esthetics and function, is the most conservative treatment approach.…”
