title: Autogenous bonding of lower incisors: case report and 17-year follow-up.
abstract: Among injuries that affect permanent teeth, the most prevalent is an uncomplicated crown fracture. Currently, autogenous bonding of the fragments is still the procedure of choice to restore fractured anterior teeth if the fragments are recovered by the patient and taken to a dental office within a reasonable time in an appropriate storage medium. There is no study or case report in the literature regarding autogenous bonding of lower incisors. This study presents a case with a 17-year follow-up for a 9-year-old patient who underwent uncomplicated crown fractures of the permanent mandibular central incisors and was treated by autogenous bonding of the tooth fragments. After 17 years, clinical and radiographic dental elements present vitality, and the restorations remain without major cosmetic changes. This case shows that autogenous bonding can be considered as a treatment option in the management of fractured lower incisors.
