Naturalistic Approach for Management of Fractured Anterior Teeth – A Case Report

Dental trauma accounts for about 5% of all injuries in children and adolescents. Anterior teeth are most frequently affected by trauma, especially the maxillary incisors. Various treatment options are available like light cure composite resin restoration, fragment reattachment, and ceramic crowns, laminate veneers. Among those, fragment reattachment is a conservative method. The procedure is simple and economic and needs less chair-side time and also provide good aesthetics, because of the maintenance of original morphology, color, and surface texture. It also allows to restore the tooth with minimal loss of the remaining tooth structure, which in turn maintains the integrity of the teeth. The success of fragment reattachment also depends on patient and parent cooperation, adequate recall and follow up of the patient to monitor the pulp vitality. This clinical case reports the management of two coronal tooth fracture cases that were successfully treated using tooth fragment reattachment using flowable composite.
