Fracture of anterior teeth by trauma is a common problem in children and teenagers due to their active and carefree lifestyle. Reattachment of fractured fragment to the remaining tooth can provide good and long lasting aesthetics since the tooth original anatomic form, color and surface texture are maintained. It also restores function, provides a positive psychological response and is a relati...

This article describes esthetic improvement in a patient with a missing maxillary left central incisor. Space analysis of the anterior dentition showed that minor tooth rearrangement was needed. Optimal space distribution for restorations was attained by orthodontic treatment. Through transforming tooth shape with porcelain laminate veneers, the maxillary left lateral incisor was transformed in...

However, bonding of the fracture line with adhesive resin cement during the intentional replantation procedure was recently suggested as an alternative to...

Coronal fractures of the anterior teeth are common sequelae of dental trauma. In case of complex fractures, where the fractured segment is available and there is close approximation of the segment to the remaining tooth, root canal treatment followed by reattachment of the fractured segment with fiber post reinforcement is a feasible option. The procedure is simple and economic and needs less c...

A time-dependent, fundamental change in function for a sectorial tooth in a group of extinct, propleopine kangaroos is reported.
