Rehabilitation of complicated crown-root fracture by fragment reattachment and intraradicular splinting: case reports.

ABSTRACT

This paper describes the rehabilitation of two traumatised teeth in two patients namely; A maxillary left central incisor with a relatively rare combination of multiple fractures- uncomplicated crown fracture, complicated crown-root fracture along with an oblique fracture in middle third of the root and A traumatised mandibular central incisor with a horizontal fracture in cervical third of the root and complete separation of the fragments. In both cases, initially the fractured crown fragments were extracted which was followed by pulpectomy and placement of fiber posts luted with resin cement. The fractured fragments were then reattached to the respective teeth using resin cement. In the first case, the fractured incisal edge of the fragment was built up with a hybrid composite. Teeth were splinted with fibre splint (Ribbond) in both the cases. The patient was recalled regularly for follow ups for six months in first case. The patient presented with normal clinical and radiographic findings at each visit. In the second case, follow ups were carried out for 3 weeks and being continued and both the cases are still under observation by regular recalls.
