title: Esthetic and functional rehabilitation via reattachment of dental fragments.
abstract: Anterior teeth fractures are frequently encountered in clinical practice. The reattachment of dental fragments, if possible, is a conservative and effective technique, which is utilized in this case. This case presentation concerns an 18-year-old male patient with a root-crown fracture of the left maxillary central incisor, which involves the periodontal biologic space. The treatment was the reattachment of the dental fragment with a composite resin and adhesive, in association with periodontal surgery. The reattachment technique described in this case report is simple, but it provides long-lasting esthetics and improved function via a very conservative approach.
