Aim:
To present the successful treatment of a vertically fractured tooth by intentional re-plantation after root canal treatment and repair with an adhesive resin.
Summary:
Vertical root fracture is a challenging problem in respect of diagnosis and management options. In this case, a vertically fractured maxillary premolar was treated by intentional re-plantation after repairing it with 4-Methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhyride/methacrylate-tri-n-butyl borane (4-META/MMA-TBB) resin cement. At the 36-month follow-up, the tooth was asymptomatic, radiographically sound with reduced deep periodontal pockets and vertical bone loss.
Key Learning Points:
• Intentional replantation after repairing fractured fragments with an adhesive resin extraorally is a treatment option. • Long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate the outcome of this technique.
