Fracture reattachment in an immature permanent incisor with talon’s cusp. A rare case report

Authors:

ABSTRACT

Aim

To report the successful and conservative management of a fractured immature permanent maxillary incisor
tooth with talon cusp by fracture reattachment.
SUMMARY: Coronal fractures of the maxillary anterior teeth are common dental injuries. Among these, the complicated
fractures especially in immature teeth require an unambiguous treatment without any delay. When the tooth fragment is
available and there is no (or minimal) violation of the biological width, reattachment is the preferable choice. It is a
conservative procedure in which the original anatomic form, color, tooth contour, surface texture and aesthetics are
preserved. The prognosis of this procedure depends on the patient's cooperation, good understanding about the treatment
limitations and periodic follow up. This report emphasises the management of coronal fracture in immature teeth by
reattachment.
