title: Composite partial crowns for injured anterior teeth.
abstract: Falls and collisions are the most commonly reported causes of dental injuries. These accidents involve principally the maxillary central incisors, causing uncomplicated crown fracture. Many materials and techniques can be used to restore injured anterior teeth. Adhesive dentistry allows reproduction of the original beauty of the teeth and preservation of almost all dental tissues. The aim of this paper is to propose the use of adhesive composite partial crowns as a conservative approach for restoring injured teeth.
