Case Reports in Dentistry
|April 6, 2018
Summary
Tooth fragment reattachment offers a conservative, noninvasive treatment for dental injuries. This technique, reinforced with a fiber post, provides a reliable, long-term solution for fractured teeth.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Dental Trauma Management
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- Tooth fragment reattachment is a preferred conservative treatment for dental injuries.
- Advancements in adhesive dentistry have improved the reliability of this procedure.
- Maxillary incisor fractures require effective and minimally invasive restorative solutions.
Observation:
- This case report details the 3-year follow-up of two patients with damaged maxillary incisors.
- The management involved direct composite resin restoration and fractured tooth fragment reattachment.
- A conservative technique utilizing vertical groove preparation was employed.
Findings:
- The tooth fragment reattachment procedure was successful and clinically reliable.
- Reinforcement with a fiber post enhanced the stability and longevity of the restoration.
- The conservative approach using vertical groove preparation demonstrated effective results.
Implications:
- Tooth fragment reattachment is a viable and predictable treatment option for coronal fractures.
- Fiber post reinforcement can improve the prognosis of reattached tooth fragments.
- This conservative management strategy preserves tooth structure and offers excellent esthetics.

01:57What is Conservation Biology?
24.4K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

02:04Conservation of Small Populations
17.4K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

01:49Conserved Binding Sites
5.2K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
2.3K
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...

526
Vertical curves provide the transition between two roadway grades, ensuring safety, comfort, and functionality. Calculating elevations at specific stations along the curve involves several systematic steps based on the curve's geometry and provided design parameters.The vertical curve is defined by its length, grades, Point of Vertical Intersection (P.V.I.) location, and P.V.I. elevation. The stations of the Point of Vertical Curvature (P.V.C.), where the curve begins, and the Point of Vertical...

02:26Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins
14.6K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain. Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...
