Abstract :
Anterior teeth crown fracture of a growing child requires immediate attention, not only because of damage to the dentition
but also due to unsightly smile and facial appearance affected by trauma to the child. Thus esthetic management of
anterior tooth fracture has been one of the most important aspects of dentistry and when it has to be done using the tooth’s
own structure, it sounds psychologically more acceptable. And with the development of resin-based materials that offer
high bond strength values, it has made possible to undoubtedly go for reattachment technique with ease.
For further simplification, single visit rotary endodontics using ProTaper Universal system is recommended as it is designed
to offer better features like flexibility and less chairside time than hand instrumentation. Presented here is one such case in
which a combination of single visit rotary endodontics and adhesive reattachment using flowable composites has been
carried out to reframe the broken tooth and comply with the patient’s concern. The treatment was found to be successful
both functionally and aesthetically at the 18-month follow-up.
