Abstract

Crown fractures of maxillary incisors are common form of dental injuries which affects mainly children and adolescents for which patients seek immediate dental treatment. The position of maxillary incisors poses them to significant risk for trauma. During pre-adhesive era fractured tooth used to get restored with either pin retained inlays or cast restoration with acrylic/porcelain facing that use to sacrifice a lot of healthy tooth structure which can be catastrophic for younger children.Recently due to advances in adhesive dentistry an immediate reattachment of the intact fractured tooth fragment is possible if an intact fragment is available which is most conservative. Reattachment of fragment provides good long lasting esthetics with original tooth contour, color. This article presents one such case report of conservative technique of reattachment in a young child using one of the methods which restores original tooth contour, color and aesthetics.
