Restoration of teeth with subgingival and subosseous fractures

Subgingival and subosseous fractured teeth may be repaired and should continue to function if treated by use of sound restorative techniques. Three recommendations are offered. The fractured tooth segment should be used to make a custom matrix. Minor gingival surgery will aid in gaining access to a subgingival margin. Amalgam is well tolerated and may be used subgingivally.
