Abstract
Among the various types of dental trauma, crown-root fractures are one of the most challenging to treat and require a multidisciplinary approach. This paper reports a case of a complicated crown-root fracture of maxillary left central incisor with esthetic, functional complications. An 18-year-old male patient presented to the department immediately after suffering trauma with a complicated crown-root fracture on tooth 21. As per the treatment, the patient had undergone endodontic therapy followed by flap reflection. Post flap reflection, a glass fiber post was luted, and the fractured fragment was reattached. By this approach, in the same appointment, the cervical margin can be exposed with appropriate isolation followed by a reattachment procedure. Reattaching the fragment is a viable option as it can be done immediately, provides better esthetics, restores function, and is less complicated than the conventional approach. A good prognosis is dependent on patient cooperation with the understanding of the treatment limitations. The article discusses a successful case of complicated crown-root fracture treated with the reattachment of a tooth fragment.Eighteen months of clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed that the clinical protocol was effective, as the tooth was functional, asymptomatic, and esthetic.
