Abstract

Coronal tooth fracture, especially in maxillary anterior teeth are mostly common in children and adolescents but can occur in any age group. Trauma to maxillary anterior teeth affects the patient both socially and psychologically, so the immediate treatment of such patients is must. If the fractured tooth fragment is available (clean and hydrated) then the reattachment of such fragment is the best treatment option available, as such treatment will result in original anatomic form, color and surface texture. Reattachment of complex tooth fracture requires reinforcement by fiber post and adhesive system. This article discusses a case report regarding successful reattachment of fractured tooth fragment.
