Oper Dent. 2012 Nov-Dec;37(6):584-90. doi: 10.2341/12-063-T. Epub 2012 Jul 7.

Abstract

The aim of this manuscript was to discuss some important considerations about tooth fragment reattachment and report the success of a clinical case in which a tooth fragment and direct composite resin were used to restore a fractured anterior tooth. Clinical and radiographic examination 12 months after trauma showed good esthetics and periodontal health.
