title: Interdisciplinary management in the paediatric patient: restoration of a complicated crown-root fracture.
abstract: Complicated crown-root fractures in permanent teeth present both patient-centred and restorative problems when treating the adolescent. This case highlights an alternative and conservative technique for the management of a traumatically involved maxillary left central incisor in a 12-year-old boy. The injury was successfully managed through an interdisciplinary approach using a combination of endodontics, minor oral surgery and orthodontics. The approach resulted in utilizing the patient's own tooth fragment to facilitate restoration back into successful function and aesthetics with the absence of any pathological changes.
