title: Treatment for a complicated crown-root fracture with intentional replantation: a case report with a 3.5-year follow up.
abstract: Crown-root fractures are always challenging for pediatric dentists because of their complicated treatments and uncertain prognosis. The purpose of this case report was to describe a severe crown-root fracture successfully treated by multidisciplinary approaches including intentional replantation. After a 3.5-year follow up, the patient felt comfortable and satisfied with her tooth, and the prosthesis was functionally and esthetically acceptable. It is recommended that multidisciplinary treatment with intentional replantation is effective and necessary for similar cases to be conservatively managed.
