restorative dentistry:
A single visit, multidisciplinary approach to the management of traumatic tooth crown fracture
C P K Wadhwani1
- A single visit multidisciplinary approach to the management of traumatic tooth crown fracture.
- A conservative, economic and well accepted technique provides the clinician with the ability to restore some catastrophic tooth trauma.
- Currently this is a well recognised technique with a 'variation on a theme' to assist in tooth fragment positioning.
Abstract
An immediate restorative technique resolving the acute problem of traumatic tooth fracture with pulpal and periodontal involvement, in which the fragment(s) are re-alignable. Repositioning facilitated by a custom stent, using dentine/enamel bonding. A challenging, conservative and economically viable procedure within the compass of a single visit.
