Abstract

Traumatic injuries with loss of tooth fragments in the incisor region are common, especially among children and adolescents. Reattachment of tooth fragments is an important technique for restoring fractured teeth and provides advantages over resin-composite restoration, including better esthetic appearance, maintenance of tooth form and color, minimal tooth loss, increased wear resistance, and, thus, improved function.
