title: Esthetic, biologic and restorative considerations in coronal segment reattachment for a fractured tooth: a clinical report.
abstract: Reattachment of a fractured clinical crown involving minimal invasion of the biologic width can be accomplished without conventional ostectomy and crown lengthening so that satisfactory esthetics can be achieved. Adhesive techniques sometimes in conjunction with traditional mechanical retention, such as a post, can be used to reattach the fractured segment. An esthetic result can be obtained with a minimal number of procedures and cost to the patient.
