Summary
This case report details the successful non-surgical management of a vertically fractured tooth. The tooth was effectively treated and restored using adhesive resin cementation.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Dental Materials Science
Background:
- Vertical tooth fractures pose a significant restorative challenge in endodontics.
- Traditional treatments often involve extraction or complex surgical interventions.
Observation:
- A patient presented with a vertically fractured tooth requiring treatment.
- The fracture extended apically, complicating treatment options.
Findings:
- Successful non-surgical management of the vertically fractured tooth was achieved.
- Adhesive resin cementation provided a stable and effective restoration.
Implications:
- Non-surgical treatment with adhesive resin cementation offers a viable alternative for vertically fractured teeth.
- This approach may improve tooth preservation rates and reduce the need for extraction.
