An Innovative Approach for Management of Vertical Coronal Fracture in Molar: Case Report

Abstract

Unlike anterior teeth, acute exogenous trauma is an infrequent cause of posterior coronal vertical tooth fractures. Endodontic and restorative management of such fractures is a great challenge for the clinician. Newer advancements in adhesive techniques can provide successful intracoronal splinting of such teeth to reinforce the remaining tooth structure. This paper describes the diagnosis and management of a case of complicated vertical coronal fracture in mandibular first molar induced by a traffic accident.

Management of Vertical Tooth Fracture With Banding - A Case Report

“…Management of such teeth should involve recognition of signs and symptoms and the provision of adequate restorations that protect the remaining tooth structure. 10 This condition mainly presents in patients aged between 30years and 50years.The most commonly affected teeth are mandibular secondmolar followed by mandibular first molar and maxillary premolars." The prognosis of teeth with involvement of root is poor, and these teeth usually require extraction.…”
