Reattachment of complicated crown fracture and fixation of the coronal fragment with FRCL as an alternative approach

Abstract

Background: Because of the physical deformity and the psychological effect on the patient, a trauma with accompanying fracture of anterior teeth is a disturbing experience for a young individual which requires immediate attention. Case: This case report presents a clinical technique of reattachment of coronal fragment of maxillary right central incisor after trauma using direct fiber resin composite laminate systems. Fiber resin composite laminate is an alternative to conventional post materials because of its aesthetic qualities, flexiblity, mechanical properties and the neutral color of the reinforcing material. Reattachment treatment method at crown-root fracture cases resulting from trauma gives better results than prosthetic and surgical operations in terms of periodontal situation, aesthetic and functional aspects
