“…Although conservative and fast, tooth fragment bonding is a conservative and fast approach that naturally reestablish the form, contour, and surface texture of a tooth without selecting material and shades by the DC (Farik et al, 2002;Taguchi et al, 2015;AlQhtani, 2020). However, the tooth fragment was not available for bonding, which excluded that treatment option.…”

“…The great variety of restorative materials leads to divergences in clinical protocols among dental clinicians (DC). Although the materials' composition allowed the manufacturers to guide the clinical indications, their selection and clinical behavior depend on the clinical skills of DC (Demarco et al, 2012(Demarco et al, , 2017Laske et al, 2019;AlQhtani, 2020), cavity extension (Demarco et al, 2012;Borgia et al, 2019;AlQhtani, 2020), clinical time (Pini et al, 2012;Romero et al, 2017;Yanikian et al, 2019), esthetic demand (Demarco et al, 2012, tooth position in the arch (Demarco et al, 2012;Borgia et al, 2019;Laske et al, 2019), occlusal factors (Demarco et al, 2017), oral hygiene habits (Demarco et al, 2012;Borgia et al, 2019;Laske et al, 2019), risk of caries (Demarco et al, 2012(Demarco et al, , 2017Laske et al, 2019) and socioeconomical factors (Demarco et al, 2012(Demarco et al, , 2017. All these mentioned factors affect the longevity of restorations and must be taken into account during the treatment planning.…”

The emergence and development of resin-based materials, such as resin composites and adhesive systems, have shifted the restorative treatment of anterior teeth with caries lesions and/or fractures. Thus, based on the disadvantages of indirect restorations, direct esthetic restorations are restorative options even for anterior teeth with extensive loss of hard tissues. This study aimed to describe and discuss the direct resin composite restoration performed to solve the esthetic and functional impairments of the upper anterior teeth with diastemas. The upper left central incisor received total crown preparation for indirect restoration. Clinical results after 10 years were recorded. Considering the clinical characteristics of dental restorations, it is possible to conclude that direct resin composite restorations reestablished the esthetic and functional properties satisfactorily, even in a tooth with extensive coronal destruction. The success of the restorative treatment was dependent on factors related to the materials´ properties, oral habits of the patient, and mostly the clinical skills of the dental clinician.

“…When a well-hydrated intact tooth fragment is available, which fits to the remaining crown without interfering with the patient’s occlusion, the first-choice treatment should be adhesive reattachment of the fragment. It does not always have to be stored in a humid environment; a study shows that a dehydrated fragment was attached to the tooth with the use of additional retention elements, and after a 15 month follow-up, the tooth retained its vitality, functionality, and natural aesthetics [ 56 ]. However, the dehydration of the broken fragment may cause color disharmony with the tooth remnant, but such an issue disappears after about 12 months, due to the absorption of water by the fragment [ 57 , 58 ].…”

Dental trauma may have a severe impact on the social and psychological wellbeing of a patient. Most cases of dental injuries involve anterior teeth, especially the maxillary upper incisors. Crown fractures, with or without pulp exposure, are the most common trauma in permanent dentition. There are many methods of management, in which the initial state of the pulp, the time since the injury, and the presence of an accompanying injury play a key role. This case report aimed at showing a possible conservative treatment after complicated tooth fracture that consisted of partial pulpotomy followed by adhesive reattachment of the tooth fragment using a technique based on heated resin composite. Such a specific procedure represents a conservative approach to traumatic coronal lesions, providing a suitable opportunity to maintain the tooth vitality, aesthetics, and function. Indeed, reattachment of tooth fragment using a composite/adhesive is a simple technique to achieve excellent results in terms of aesthetic and function.

Introduction: An uncomplicated crown fracture (enamel-dentin fracture) is the most clinically reported traumatic injury. Many techniques have been reviewed to manage this traumatic injury. The literature has no consensus on the best strategy to establish optimal biological, functional, and esthetical success. Objective: This clinical case reports different management of uncomplicated crown fractures in young permanent teeth that were successfully treated using both tooth fragment reattachment and composite build-up. Case Report: A 9-year-old female presented as an emergency patient with immature fractured upper central incisors. She hit her mouth into a solid wall and broke her front teeth during playing. Upon parental advice, the fragments were stored in a container of milk since the incident. For dental management, two treatment approaches were used. Conclusion: After a two-year follow-up, the treatment is considered successful and the traumatized teeth are vital, functional and presented with a complete root development.
