Objectives:
Frontal teeth fractures occur daily, where the main patient demand
is to restore the resultant defect esthetically. There is nothing more esthetic
than the tooth itself. Many techniques were described to use the fractured
piece to restore this defect in case of accurate fit. Unfortunately, there is no
review which summarizes these techniques. The objective of this article is to
summarize these techniques to give the dental practitioners the opportunity
to restore the fractured tooth more conservatively and in the same time more
esthetically. Also it throws light on the prevalence and etiology of tooth fracture.
Overview:
Frontal teeth are subjected to traumas more than other teeth in
the mouth. These traumas may lead to tooth fracture with or without pulp
involvement. In attempts to restore the fractured tooth in more esthetic and
conservative manner, the fractured piece may be used as a restorative material.
This treatment modality has gained increased used due to the continuous
development in the adhesive field. Several techniques were used. These
techniques include, simple reattachment, external chamfer, over contouring,
internal dentin bevel, and internal enamel bevel. All these techniques try to
afford the highest fracture resistance accompanied with the least possible
tooth preparation.
Conclusions:
Reattachment of the fractured piece of frontal tooth is simple
and successful treatment. This procedure can be performed by different
techniques. Combination of two or more technique would result in better
performance.
