OBJECTIVE: To present and discuss a case of child who sustained a complicated crown fracture, with the lost portion of tooth embedded in his lower lip. RESULTS: Tooth fragment was surgically removed and successfully reattached to the tooth using acid etch and dentin bonding resin technique.

Abstract This clinical report presents a case of abutment fracture, due to occlusal overload, occurred with an implant-supported restoration on right mandibular first molar of a female patient. After 6 months of prosthetic reconstruction implants, the patient returned to the clinic due to the loss of implant crown. The fractured fragment of the abutment with the screw protec...

background and aims. one of the major problems of all-ceramic restorations is their probable fracture under occlusal force. the aim of the present in vitro study was to compare the effect of two marginal designs (chamfer and deep chamfer) on the fracture resistance of all-ceramic restorations, cercon. materials and methods. this in vitro study was carried out with single-blind experimental tech...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate the fracture resistance of newer restorative materials that could serve as an alternate to crown coverage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty extracted human mandibular molar teeth were selected for this study and were divided into four groups (n = 10). All the teeth in the experimental groups (Group 2-4) were subjected to access cavity preparatio...

Traumatic injuries to the anterior teeth are a most common form of dental trauma that mainly affects children and adolescents. One of the options for managing tooth fracture when the tooth fragment is available and there is no or minimal violation of the biological width is the reattachment of the dental fragment. Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments can provide good and long-lasting esthe...

BACKGROUND Posts are used to enhance crown buildup in pulpless teeth with destructed crown portion. Different types of post are used in endodontically treated teeth. The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate fracture resistance of custom made, metal, glass fiber reinforced and carbon reinforced posts in endodontically treated teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS An in vitro study was carr...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this prospective study was to analyze the factors related to extraction of endodontically treated teeth. METHODS One hundred nineteen cases of extraction of endodontically treated teeth were consecutively reviewed, and the following items were recorded: type of tooth; presence and type of coronal restoration; motive of consultation; reasons for extraction; patient'...

Trauma to anterior teeth is common and requires accurate diagnosis and thorough treatment planning. The maxillary incisors are often affected during injury to the face because of their normal labial projection inflicting damage to the crowns. Multidisciplinary treatment approach is important for aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of anterior teeth with crown fracture. The purpose of this a...
