Aim:
Complicated crown fractures involve enamel, dentine and the pulp. The incidence of complicated crown fractures ranges from 2% to 13% of all dental injuries and the most commonly involved tooth is the maxillary central incisor. Various treatment modalities are available depending upon the clinical, physiological and radiographic status of the involved tooth. The aim of this article was to discuss techniques for the management of complicated crown fractures.
Summary:
Management of complicated crown fractures depends upon several factors with the result that various clinical modalities have been suggested. Seven case reports of complicated crown fractures are presented and risks/benefits of the treatment plans are discussed.
Key Learning Points:
Proper diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up care are important factors in the prognosis of complicated crown fractures. Thorough understanding of the available treatment modalities and their specific indications is critical. The risks and benefits of each treatment option should be carefully evaluated during the treatment planning process.
