title: [The treatment of injured front teeth].
abstract: Prefabricated steel crowns have been in use up to now as a classical method of preserving of fractured front teeth. They are, however, unsatisfactory for esthetical reasons. With the introduction to the acid etch technique incisal restorations have been made with composites. They are, however, subject to some abrasion and surface staining, as the inorganic filler particles loosen from the organic matrix. The clinical experiences with the new dental filling material Isosit lead to an esthetically and functionally accurate restoration of broken teeth or hypoplasia. After one year of observation 28 traumatically damaged teeth built up with Isocap have shown no marginal discoloration, staining or material loss.
