OBJECTIVE The reattachment of the crown fragment to a fractured tooth is a conservative treatment that should be considered for young patients with crown-root fractures to the maxillary incisors if the subgingival fracture can be exposed to provide isolation. Gingivectomy, the surgical or orthodontic extrusion of the apical fragment is necessary to expose the subgingival fracture. This report d...

background and aims. pathological fractures are rare in the maxillofacial region and account for less than 2% of all frac-tures in this site. they are defined as fractures that take place when bone has been weakened by an underlying pathologic process. among all pathoses, cysts (although so common in the maxillofacial region) constitute a very small part. here we report a case of a dentigerous ...

Following avulsion and replantation, teeth are at risk for infection and infection related resorption (IRR). Severe discolorations of tooth crowns and cervical root fractures are common. This study presents data on endodontic related complications of avulsed teeth replanted following an extraoral endodontic treatment. Periodontal aspects will be discussed in the second part of the present publi...

vertical root fracture (vrf) has been a great challenge in dentistry; most fractures often result in tooth extraction. inflammation of tissues around the fractured root is the main reason for tooth extraction. based on the strategic importance of some fractured teeth, treatment may be necessary and often complicated. however, performing a proper repair or even splinting the fractured segments m...

Fracture of tooth after trauma is distressing to a person because of the discomfort and pain due to pulpal injury. Crown root fractures of anterior teeth cause concomitant periodontal injury and there will be concern about appearance, and aesthetics. Management of pulpal and periodontal tissue relieves pain and restoration of tooth form regains patients confidence. Restoration of fractured toot...

Introduction: the Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is critical, and the Awareness of stresses developed by oblique and vertical forces in restorative methods take a great role in treatment plans. Due to the anatomical shape and inherent form of the stress distribution premolars, could be lost by fractures. Some fractures such as vertical fracture which is probable in...


 ABSTRACT: Dental fractures comprise the most frequent form of traumatic dental injury and often require an immediate procedure for their treatment. Among treatments, restoration fractured teeth by reattachment tooth fragment to its remnant is a viable clinical treat fracture due trauma because it considered highly conservative technique.

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of vertical root fractures (VRF) in extracted endodontically treated teeth and to correlate the findings to previous studies and surveys. METHODOLOGY Root-canal-treated teeth were referred for extraction from a public dental clinic. The endodontic therapy had been completed by a variety of dentists. Each tooth was evaluated following ex...

Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screws were first introduced to achieve IMF as a kind of bone borne appliance for jaw fractures in 1989. Because this method can overcome many disadvantages associated with tooth borne appliance, IMF screws have been popularly used for jaw fractures since then. From March 2011 to February 2014, we treated 168 cases with single or multiple jaw fractures by open redu...
