We explored the impact of cusp inclinations on dental fractures in cracked tooth syndrome model and formulated corresponding risk scale. Forty maxillary premolars were randomized into four groups for cusp inclination measurements by digital radiovisiography (RVG). For cracked tooth models, buccal and palatal cusp inclinations were achieved by grinding in groups I (59°-50°), II (64°-55°) and III...

INTRODUCTION Complicated crown- root fractures, extended caries and iatrogenic destruction often result in insufficient sound tooth structures and compromise the biologic width. Two common options for re-establishing flap with osseous surgery. Although some advantages are related to these two options, but coronal movement of gingival and alveolar bone in orthodontic extrusion, esthetic problem ...

The advances in adhesive dentistry have allowed dentists to use the patient’s own fragment to restore the fractured tooth. The present case report describes management of a complicated fracture of maxillary right central incisor treated endodontically, followed by reattachment of the same fragment using fiber post. Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments offers a viable restorative alternativ...

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. Fractured anterior teeth are usually treated with conventional post and core and crown techniques, after being treated endodontically. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. Fiber-reinforced post makes the reattach...

AIM To report the intentional replantation of a maxillary central incisor with a crown-root fracture. SUMMARY An 11-year-old girl was referred to a paediatric clinic with an extensive crown-root fracture of the maxillary right central incisor (tooth 11) with pulp exposure. Radiographs revealed that tooth 11 had a periapical radiolucent lesion, which suggested pulpal necrosis. The treatment op...

Trauma of anterior teeth is quite a common occurrence in both children and adults. Various degrees of trauma leading to fracture may affect teeth in different ways depending on the age of the patient and extent of fracture and other factors that will be discussed. Guidelines have been given as to how each of these situations should be treated. In the past, often more aggressive restorations wer...

BACKGROUND Crown-root fractures of anterior teeth are relatively common but often time consuming and difficult to treat. In some cases, the clinician can complete the treatment in a single visit by reattaching the fractured fragment. CASE DESCRIPTION In this case report, the authors describe the treatment of a complicated crown-root fracture of the maxillary right central and lateral incisors...

Crown fractures account for the majority of dental traumas. If handled properly, prognosis of the pulp following a traumatic crown fracture can be favorable. The present case report focuses on the treatment of a traumatized mature permanent incisor with exposed pulp that was treated with the novel technique of miniature pulpotomy using calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. One-year follow-up r...

Dental trauma sometimes causes fractures in the maxillary anterior teeth leading to esthetic, functional and phonetic quandaries. In this report, we describe the treatment of middle third root fracture of maxillary centrals and cervical third crown fracture of lateral incisor simultaneously fractured due to dental trauma. Treatment involved reattachment and splinting of fractured fragments with...
