title: The "sandwich" technique as a base for reattachment of dental fragments.
abstract: Esthetics and function were restored to a fractured maxillary central incisor by reattaching the tooth fragment with the "sandwich" technique (glass-ionomer cement and composite resin). After 3 years, the tooth showed optimal fragment rehydration, presence of pulpal vitality, absence of sensitivity, and a discrete color alteration in the line between the fragment and the dental remnant.
