The treatment of complicated crown-root fractures of tooth is often compromised by a fracture apical to the gingival margin and/or bone. This makes isolation difficult and compromises the adhesive union which is critical for a successful treatment. In the present case, the fracture line extended from cervical third of labial surface to cervical third of palatal surface sub gingivally which made the case a complicated crown root fracture. The reattachment of fragments would bring the vulnerable joint in the primary stress bearing area and in the subgingival region. Hence the tooth was removed traumatically with the help of periotome and intentional replantation was done which facilitated the attachment of fragments extra orally. Fragments reattachment was reinforced with the intraradicular fiber post and glass ionomer cement. Then the tooth was rotated 1800 to bring the subgingival fra.. Read More»
