title: Restoration of a fractured incisor with exposed pulp using original tooth fragment: report of case.
abstract: The incisal edge of a maxillary anterior tooth in an 11-year-old boy was fractured resulting in a pulpal exposure. Root development of the tooth was complete. The tooth was treated using a partial pulpotomy and the fractured piece was reattached using an acid-etch composite. A radiograph taken 35 months postoperatively showed a dentinal bridge and healthy periapical tissues.
