Abstract :

Reattachment of a crown fragment to its origin could be an alternative in the restoration of a fractured crown caused by a traumatic accident of anterior teeth, particularly when such fragment is still available. The method is considerably conservative and could be done immediately, either as a temporary or permanent restoration, by using resin composite material and its bonding system. The process is not time-consuming and quite economic, and gives rise to a restoration of original color, shape and function. This study report two cases of patient in which successful results have been obtained after one-year follow-up.
