Abstract

Functional, csthetic and biologic restoration of a fractured tooth is often a clinical challenge. In particular, the treatment and prognosis of teeth with crown-root fracture are dictated solely by the extent of the fracture line. Among many conventional therapies, re attachment of the fractured segment by adhesives is now considered as a viable treatment option to quickly obtain both morphology and esthetics. The treatment strategy for complicated subgingival crown-root fracture includes periodontal surgical exposure, endodontic management and finally the fragment reattachment. This paper reports the management of a complicated crown-root fracture in a young adult, by reattaching the fractured fragments using adhesive technology.
