INTRODUCTION The fracture of front teeth is one of the routine presentations of traumatic injuries. The treatment of a fractured tooth involving the pulp includes root canal therapy and post placement followed by core build-up or by the extraction of the fractured tooth if it is not restorable. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of an adult male who had traumatized both his maxillary central ...

AIM To report the successful and conservative management of a fractured immature permanent maxillary incisor tooth with talon cusp by fracture reattachment. SUMMARY Coronal fractures of the maxillary anterior teeth are common dental injuries. Among these, the complicated fractures especially in immature teeth require an unambiguous treatment without any delay. When the tooth fragment is avail...

The management of mandibular angle fractures is often challenging and results in the highest complication rate among fractures of the mandible. In addition, the optimal treatment modality for angle fractures remains controversial. Traditional treatment protocols for angle fractures have involved rigid fixation with intraoperative maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) to ensure absolute stability. Ho...

Tooth trauma has been and continues to be a common occurrence that every dental professional must be prepared to assess and treat when necessary. Tooth trauma and its management loom as a major challenge to the dental practitioner. Transverse root fractures occur most commonly in the maxillary teeth. This case report describes a new technique for the management of transverse root fractures in z...

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. Fractured anterior teeth are usually treated with conventional post and core and crown techniques, after being treated endodontically. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. Fiber-reinforced post makes the reattach...

AIM To report the intentional replantation of a maxillary central incisor with a crown-root fracture. SUMMARY An 11-year-old girl was referred to a paediatric clinic with an extensive crown-root fracture of the maxillary right central incisor (tooth 11) with pulp exposure. Radiographs revealed that tooth 11 had a periapical radiolucent lesion, which suggested pulpal necrosis. The treatment op...

Complicated crown-root fractures are rare and often need complex treatment planning. This case report describes the management of an oblique crown-root fracture of maxillary right central incisor. Endodontic treatment of the tooth was performed and the tooth was provisionally restored. The tooth was then orthodontically extruded by 2 mm to raise the defect supraginigivally. Gingivectomy was per...

Mandible Fractures account for 5% of all facial fractures. The most common mandible fractures are those in the condylar region followed by angle and then body A good thing about Mandibular children comparison to adults is that their embedded tooth buds hold fragments like a glue. Also, neck which short thick tends resist fracture therefore majority un-displaced type. purpose present case series...

Repairing mandibular body fractures presents unique challenges not encountered when repairing long bones. Large tooth roots and the presence of the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle limit safe placement for many types of orthopedic implants. Use of non-invasive fracture repair methods have increasingly become popular and have proven safe and effective at achieving bone healing. Non-invasiv...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: This study was conducted with the aim to investigate the knowledge and clinical judgment of Iranian general dentists and related factors on the diagnosis and treatment plan of vertical root fracture (VRF).METHODS: A questionnaire was distributed among 300 general dentists who attended in Iranian General Dentists Association (IGDA) congress in 2015. The questionnaire comprise...
