title: Homogenous bonding--case report and 18-year follow up.
abstract: Fracture of the anterior teeth by trauma is the most frequent type of injury affecting the permanent dentition, especially the maxillary central incisors. When the fragment is not available or its use is not recommended, donated extracted teeth (homogenous bonding) can be used. The aim of this paper is to report the successful 18-year follow up of a maxillary central incisor fracture in which homogenous bonding was performed.
