Crown-Root Fracture Treated With Super-Bond-A Case Report With 55 Months Clinical Follow-Up.

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Dental Traumatology
• Adhesive Dentistry

Background:

• Crown-root fragment reattachment offers a conservative approach to restoring fractured teeth.
• Potential complications like microleakage and malalignment can compromise treatment success, especially with inadequate moisture control.

Observation:

• A complicated crown-root fracture of the maxillary left central incisor was treated.
• The reattachment procedure involved precise visual alignment on a small periodontal flap under controlled moisture conditions.

Findings:

• The Super-Bond adhesive system facilitated successful fragment reattachment.
• A 55-month follow-up demonstrated favorable long-term outcomes, including restored function and aesthetics.
• Periodontal health was preserved post-reattachment.

Implications:

• This case highlights the efficacy of meticulously planned adhesive protocols in conservative tooth fragment reattachment.
• Controlled moisture and precise technique are crucial for successful long-term results in dental trauma management.
• Conservative reattachment can be a viable alternative to more invasive treatments for complex crown-root fractures.
