Published: April 2008

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the restored teeth using reattachment technique of fractured fragment to the remaining tooth. This study was conducted on 11 children (six girls and five boys; age range: 8-13 years). Before the treatment, the teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically. The broken incisal part was directly reattached to the remaining tooth part with flowable resin composite. Thereafter, with the purpose of obtaining optimal esthetics and function, along the fracture line an external 'double chamfer' in the shape of a V was created and then covered with resin composite. During the follow-up (1-24 months) after the treatment, the teeth were evaluated clinically and/or radiographically with regard to periodontal, pulpal, coronal, color harmony of the fragments, and occlusion. In addition, the restored teeth were assessed in terms of parental-patient ratings of satisfaction. Both clinically and radiographically, no pathology was reported and all the restorations were successful. Moreover, the mean scores of parental-patient satisfaction were reported as 'satisfied, very-satisfied.'

Background: Autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) is an option to treat large osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs), accompanying subchondral cyst, and previous unsuccessful bone marrow stimulation (BMS) procedures. Although there is extensive literature on the outcomes of surgical interventions for medial osteochondral lesions, research focusing on lateral lesions remains limited. This article presents the intermediate-term clinical and radiologic outcomes following AOT for lateral OLTs.
