Restoration modalities of severely injured anterior teeth--gingival integration, papillae support, and predictable imperfections.
This article presents 4 cases, each describing a different dental trauma and a different treatment modality. Because of various limitations, none of the results presented is esthetically perfect, but the outcomes were acceptable to both the operators and the patients. Such limitations should be predicted and discussed with patients before beginning treatment and should be regarded as acceptable compromises, unless other less conservative treatments are to be used.
