Management of cervical root fracture by reattachment using fibre post

Description

Tooth fractures are commonly reported emergencies in dental practise. They can vary in severity from a simple enamel fracture to complete avulsion of tooth. Among these injuries, crown-root fractures are considered to be the most common cause of tooth loss.1 They are clinically challenging cases to treat as management of such cases requires a multidisciplinary approach for complete rehabilitation. Reattachment of the tooth fragment is the most conservative and biological treatment available in case of crown-root fractures if the fractured tooth fragments are available and reported early in a clean and hydrated state.2 Reattachment can be done with the help of fibre-reinforced posts which provides increased retention of fractured crown segment and is less subjected to root fracture due to adhesive and elastic properties.3 In cases of fractures extending subgingivally, an envelope flap helps to achieve the desired isolation and visibility....
