Abstract:
A case of oral rehabilitation in a 4-year-old girl, in which the posterior teeth were restored using biological restorations, is described. The tooth fragments were selected from a bank of tooth tissues and bonded with dual-cure composite cement to prepared teeth. The results were satisfactory regarding retention, aesthetic and mastication, but disadvantages included long clinical appointments, laborious technique and possible fracture or degradation between the margins of the fragment and the tooth surface.
