- Abstract
- The traumatic accident could cause various damages to the teeth and surrounding tissues. It makes dentist embarrass be-cause it not only requires the dentist to make quick decision, but also delayed decision affect the prognosis of the treatment. Depending on the location of the fracture, the fractured teeth are divided into crown fracture without pulpal involvement (Uncomplicated crown fracture), crown fracture with pulpal involvement (Complicated crown fracture), crown-root frac-ture, and root fracture. When the crown was fractured, treatment was performed with reattachment of the fragment or direct composite resin restoration depending on the presence or absence of the crown fragment. In the case of crown-root fracture, the direction of treatment can be set depending on whether the moisture control for final restoration is properly performed. In the case of root fracture, follow-up was observed after fixation using resin wire splint fixation, and if necessary, endodontic treatment of the crown fragment is recommended. The cases reported here have led to positive treatment outcome in fractured tooth for various traumatized situation.
