Description
Summary:Traumatic injuries resulting in damage to the teeth and associated structures have a grave psychological impact on the patient and hence, these require timely intervention. The fracture extent determines the appropriate treatment plan for the patient. Crown fractures can be treated aesthetically without the invasion of the biological width with meticulous interdisciplinary management. The objective of this article is to report a case of a 27-year-old Indian male patient who presented to our hospital the following day, post-trauma to the anterior teeth. On clinical examination, two teeth were found to have undergone fracture that involved the pulp chamber. Considering the overall oral health, pulpal and periodontal health, availability of the fragments, and invasion of the biological width, a tailor-made treatment plan was devised. The fractured crown fragments were reattached surgically, using a glass fiber post that resulted in an aesthetic biological restoration. This treatment has been successfully managed by an interdisciplinary approach. At the 18th-month follow-up, clinical and radiological examinations suggest a successful outcome.
