Long-term Follow-up of Complicated Crown Fracture With Fragment Reattachment: Two Case Reports
Operative Dentistry
|February 1, 2019
Summary
Fragment reattachment successfully restored complicated crown fractures in maxillary incisors. This dental technique, using adhesive systems and fiber posts, offers a reliable long-term prognosis without inflammation.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Dental Trauma
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- Complicated crown fractures of maxillary incisors pose significant restorative challenges.
- Traditional restorative methods may not always preserve tooth structure or aesthetics.
- Fragment reattachment offers a potentially conservative treatment option.
Observation:
- Two cases of complicated crown fracture involving maxillary incisors were treated.
- The fragment reattachment technique was employed for restoration.
- Root canal treatment was performed prior to fragment bonding.
Findings:
- Fractured fragments were bonded using a dentin adhesive system and flowable composite resin.
- A fiber post was inserted with dual-cured resin cement.
- Long-term follow-up demonstrated a reliable prognosis with no inflammatory signs at the bonded junctions.
Implications:
- Fragment reattachment is a viable and predictable treatment for complicated crown fractures.
- This technique can achieve favorable long-term outcomes, preserving tooth vitality and aesthetics.
- Adhesive dentistry principles are crucial for successful fragment reattachment and longevity.

02:36Crown Ethers
6.1K
Crown ethers are cyclic polyethers that contain multiple oxygen atoms, usually arranged in a regular pattern. The first crown ether was synthesized by Charles Pederson while working at DuPont in 1967. For this work, Pedersen was co-awarded the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Crown ethers are named using the formula x-crown-y, where x is the total number of atoms in the ring and y is the number of ether oxygen atoms. The term 'crown' refers to the crown-like shape that these ether molecules...

02:31Habitat Fragmentation
21.3K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

790
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

33.3K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...
