title: Utilization of different management concepts in fractured tooth fragment reattachment: a report of three cases.
abstract: Traumatic injuries of teeth involve varying degrees of damage to the supporting soft tissues or the teeth itself. A very common injury to the permanent dentition affecting children and adolescents during their growing years is the anterior crown fracture. Recent developments in restorative material, placement techniques, preparation designs, and an adhesive protocol allow clinicians to predictably restore fractured teeth. With the advent of adhesive dentistry the process of fragment reattachment has become simplifed and more reliable. This procedure provides an improved function, is relatively faster to perform and at the same time provides long lasting esthetics. This paper discusses various innovative techniques of fracture reattachment depending on the complexity of the case.
