Reattachment of fractured fragment of an anterior tooth: case report and nine-year follow-up.

This article reports the treatment and follow-up of a 10-year-old boy who had a politraumatic accident that resulted in severe displacement and fracture of the maxillary right central incisor. After clinical and radiographic examination, the tooth fragment was bonded with adhesive and the tooth crown underwent nonrigid splinting. Follow-up appointments were scheduled once a week during the first month, once during the second month, and every three months thereafter.

Homogenous bonding--case report and 18-year follow up.

Fracture of the anterior teeth by trauma is the most frequent type of injury affecting the permanent dentition, especially the maxillary central incisors. When the fragment is not available or its use is not recommended, donated extracted teeth (homogenous bonding) can be used. The aim of this paper is to report the successful 18-year follow up of a maxillary central incisor fracture in which homogenous bonding was performed.
