ABSTRACT

Trauma to the oral and maxillofacial region is frequent, of which trauma to dental tissue is commonly observed [1]. Traumatic dental injuries present a challenge to clinicians. Most of the times, trauma occurs at the coronal level and are usually asymptomatic unless there is significant dentin involvement [1, 2, 5, 6]. A 16 year old male patient reported with the chief complaint of severe pain and fracture in the upper front tooth while playing kabbadi. The fragment was reattached to the remaining tooth structure and the fiber post (angelus) extending into the coronal fragment through the access cavity using dual cure self-etch adhesive resin cement(3M ESPE RelyXTM U200). The excessive cement was removed and excessive protruding fiber post was trimmed. Access restoration was done using the composite resin. On one year follow up patient was completely asymptomatic. In the present case, a more simple and conservative treatment approach has been considered. KEYWORDS: Fragment reattachment, Prefabricated fibre post, traumatic injuries
