Summary
Immediate reattachment using a light-transmitting fiber post offers a successful treatment for complicated crown-root fractures in maxillary incisors, restoring function and aesthetics.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Dental Trauma
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- Complicated crown-root fractures of maxillary incisors are common after severe trauma or sports injuries.
- These injuries cause pain and impair function, aesthetics, and phonetics, leading to patient apprehension.
Observation:
- Patients with complicated crown-root fractures present with pain and require emergency dental care.
- Immediate restoration of function, aesthetics, and phonetics is crucial for managing these cases.
Findings:
- This paper details the immediate treatment of an oblique crown-root fracture of a maxillary lateral incisor using fragment reattachment with a light-transmitting fiber post.
- After two and a half years, the reattached fragment demonstrated satisfying aesthetics and excellent function.
Implications:
- Fragment reattachment with light-transmitting fiber posts provides a viable, long-term solution for complicated crown-root fractures.
- This technique successfully restores dental function and improves patient-reported aesthetics and phonetics.
