Attach the detached to preserve the existing natural tooth by the man-made base

Abstract

Traumatic dental injuries are most commonly seen in children and teenagers, especially in the anterior teeth. The ultimate goal of any dental treatment is to reestablish the lost tooth form and function. Numerous procedures have been proposed in the past in which there was considerable loss of remaining sound tooth structure. However, with recent technologies, the minimally invasive procedure is dominating. One such procedure is to reattach the fractured fragment to reestablish the biological form and function of the tooth. Thus, in this section, two case reports on managing complicated crown fractures were discussed, where restoration of anterior teeth with the available tooth fragment was supported with fiber post. As this procedure helps to provide life like appearance of the tooth by restoring anatomy and esthetics, it even adds to psychological stability of the patient.
