Esthetic smile rehabilitation through autogenous bonding of dental fragment: a case report.
Autogenous tooth fragment bonding offers advantages over restorations with composite resins and porcelain, including better esthetics, greater durability, reestablishment of the natural function of the dental element and short execution time. A case is presented of a 14-year-old male patient who suffered an oblique crown fracture of the permanent right maxillary central incisor (11) due to a traumatic fall. The clinical examination revealed pulp exposure with no invasion of the biological space. Due to the extension of the fracture, endodontic treatment and the placement of an intra-root esthetic pin was needed. The tooth was restored using the autogenous fragment bonding method. Excellent esthetic and functional results were observed after two years of follow up.
