Abstract

Coronal fractures of permanent incisors represent 18-22% of all trauma to dental hard tissues out of which 96% involve the maxillary central incisors. The reattachment of the crown fragment to a fractured tooth should be a treatment of choice for young patients as it is a conservative procedure and minimally invasive. This case series report illustrates the treatment of three cases managed with reattachment of coronal fragments. The crown-root fractures of maxillary central incisors were restored with a combination of chemically cured resin material, light cured resin material and polyethylene fiber.
