Comprehensive treatment of traumatic fracture and luxation injuries in the anterior permanent dentition.
The increased incidence of traumatic injuries in anterior teeth is a consequence of modern leisure activities. The key factors to successful functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of such injuries are proper diagnosis and adequate primary and subsequent treatment. In severe cases, sequential multidisciplinary treatment is required. All-ceramic crown and post-and-core systems allow for superior aesthetics without compromising function. This article addresses fractures and luxation injuries in the anterior permanent dentition and discusses updated treatment options. The multidisciplinary rehabilitation of a clinical case for optimal function and aesthetics is presented.
