Summary
Fragment reattachment offers a conservative approach for anterior tooth fractures. This technique, using glass-fibre-reinforced composite posts, successfully restored two cases of coronal tooth trauma.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Dental Trauma Management
- Conservative Dentistry
Background:
- Coronal fractures of anterior teeth are prevalent dental injuries.
- Sequelae of these fractures can complicate treatment planning.
- Fragment reattachment is a conservative treatment option for anterior crown fractures.
Observation:
- Two clinical cases of coronal tooth fractures were managed.
- Treatment involved tooth fragment reattachment.
- Glass-fibre-reinforced composite posts were utilized in the reattachment procedure.
Findings:
- Successful treatment outcomes were achieved in both reported cases.
- Tooth fragment reattachment proved effective for managing anterior coronal fractures.
- The use of glass-fibre-reinforced composite posts facilitated successful reattachment.
Implications:
- Tooth fragment reattachment is a viable and conservative treatment for anterior coronal fractures.
- Glass-fibre-reinforced composite posts enhance the success of fragment reattachment.
- This approach offers a minimally invasive solution for dental trauma recovery.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
