Abstract

Dental trauma is a situation where in the patient is affected both socially and psychologically. Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. The prime objective while handling such cases is successful pain management with immediate restoration of function, esthetics and phonetics. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. The development and use of fibre-reinforced posts makes the reattachment of the crown possible, esthetically. This case report presents a clinical technique of reattachment of coronal fragment of maxillary lateral incisor after trauma using direct fiber-reinforced post systems.
