Abstract ABSTRACT :
Restoration of fractured anterior teeth has been greatly improved through advancements in adhesive technologies, allowing the reattachment of natural tooth fragments with both functional reliability and esthetic success. This clinical case report details the management of a complicated crown fracture (Ellis Class III) in a 29-year-old male following trauma. The fractured maxillary left lateral incisor (tooth 22) was endodontically treated, and a fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post was placed to enhance fragment retention. The detached fragment, preserved in saline, was reattached using dual-cure resin cement after proper surface treatment and bonding procedures. Postoperative follow-up at 8 months showed no symptoms, resorption, or mobility, and the tooth remained esthetically and functionally intact. Reattachment using the patient’s original fragment provides numerous benefits, including natural morphology, shade matching, emotional satisfaction, and minimal invasiveness. With careful assessment of occlusion, periodontal status, and fracture pattern, fragment reattachment stands as a highly conservative and effective treatment option for anterior tooth fractures.
