Reattachment of fractured segment in a maxillary central incisor using fiber post – a case report

Tooth fragment reattachment restores morphological, functional and esthetic aspects of the dentition, while maintaining the shape, contour, texture, colour and alignment of the natural teeth. Furthermore, fragment reattachment can be considered a fast and low cost treatment solution, creating a positive emotional and psychological response in the patient. Different preparation techniques as well as adhesive materials have been described throughout the literature, designed to increase the chemical and mechanical retention of fragments. This case report describes reattachment of fragment in a pulpally involved tooth where biologic width was not compromised. If the fractured fragment is available and is in a good condition reattachment is the better treatment option. When compared to more aggressive prosthetic techniques like crowns and veneers, the reattachment technique is both conservative and aesthetic.
