Restoration of Fractured Permanent Teeth in Children with Composite Resin Veneers

Crown fractures are common among schoolchildren. They create serious functional, aesthetic and psychological problems. The clinicians must propose high aesthetics in the front part and the choice of exact treatment plan. Repeated reconstructions are needed in many cases because of compromised results as time passed by. Achievement of promising restoration that preserves its aesthetics and strength is the greatest desire for both children and their parents. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of composite resin veneers used for restoration of fractured permanent teeth in children. 30 fractured incisors of children aged 12-17 were investigated. Restorations were made using direct-indirect composite resin veneers, a method modified by us. Control exams were made after 6 and 12 months. Data were put in a statistic card. Quality assessment of the composite resin veneers was made according to the Robertson et al scale of the Californian Dental Association. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the investigated indices: colour, marginal stains, anatomic form, surface structure and marginal adaptation of composite resin veneers, studied in dynamics. Therefore, the proposed method is effective for restoring fractured permanent incisors in children.
