Management of a Complicated Crown-Root Fracture using Single-Visit Endodontic Treatment and Fiber Post as an Intracanal Anchorage

Abstract

ABSTRACT This case report describes the management of complicated crown-root fracture of a maxillary central incisor. Initially, the fractured fragment was stabilized by splinting it with composite and wire splint to adjacent teeth. During next appointment single-visit endodontic treatment was performed, the fractured crown portion was reattached using fiber post and composite resin. Success was achieved by normality in function, esthetics, health of tooth and surrounding periodontal structures. This reattachment technique presents several advantages, such as better and long-lasting esthetics, improved function and a positive psychological response, faster and less complicated procedure. The main objective of the presented technique restoration is to provide highly conservative approach that combines esthetics and function. Advantages, disadvantages and prognosis of this treatment approach are discussed. How to cite this article Bansode PV, Pathak SD, Deore RB.
