Replantation of a vertically fractured maxillary central incisor after repair with adhesive resin.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the replantation of a vertically fractured root-filled maxillary central incisor after repair with adhesive resin.


CONCLUSIONS
Root-filled teeth with vertical root fractures are usually extracted as they generally have a poor prognosis. In this case, an 18-month follow-up of a replanted incisor with vertical root fracture is presented with clinical and radiographic documentation.


CONCLUSIONS
* Replantation of root-filled incisors with complete vertical root fracture after resin bonding might be a realistic alternative to extraction. * Practitioners should be aware of the possible disadvantages as well as advantages associated with failure of a replanted incisor with complete vertical root fracture.
