Abstract

Management of Complicated Crown-Root Fracture Using Newer Radiographic AIDS - A Case Report

Highlights

  • Management of patient with traumatic injuries to their dentition is an integral part of general dental practice

  • Since anterior teeth help in maintaining the form, function & esthetics, a treatment plan which would not compromise on any of these values with minimal treatment time is most desirable

  • A smile is considered beautiful if it imitates a natural appearance, with wellaligned teeth and defined anatomical shapes [1,2,3]

Summary

Introduction

Management of patient with traumatic injuries to their dentition is an integral part of general dental practice. B. Removal of fractured fragments followed by surgical / orthodontic extrusion of tooth. Fractured fragments of 11, 21 & 22 were removed traumatically and stored in normal saline (Figures 3a & 3b). After removal of fractured fragments, intentional extraction of 21 & 22 was done and were kept in normal saline (Figures 4a & 4b). The fractured crown fragment was reattached with remaining tooth using flow able composite resin. The excess resin was removed with an excavator and was light cured for 40 seconds from both buccal and palatal aspects (Figures 7a & 7b). Brush and light cured for 20 seconds, followed by Filtek Z350 (3M ESPE) composite resin for built-up of remaining tooth structure (Figure 9).
