Fracture fragment reattachment of young permanent maxillary central incisors: A report of two cases

Abstract

Incidence of traumatic dental injuries in children is relatively common. Emergency management of such injuries is essential for the maintenance of its function and esthetics. Coronal fractures of maxillary central incisors are the most common type of fractures. With the advances in adhesive dentistry, fracture fragment reattachment technique off ers a conservative, cost-eff ective, long-lasting esthetics, and restores function when the fractured tooth fragment is available. This case report discusses fracture fragment reattachment technique in conjunction with apexogenesis and apexifi cation in two clinical cases of coronal tooth fractures in young permanent teeth.
