Coronal fractures of the anterior teeth are a common form of dental trauma that mainly affects children and adolescents. One of the options for managing coronal tooth fractures when a tooth fragment is available and there is no or minimal violation of the biological width is the Re-attachment of the dental fragment. Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments can provide good and long-lasting esthetics (because the tooth’s original anatomic form, color and surface texture are maintained). It also restores function, provides a positive psychological response and is a relatively simple procedure. Patient cooperation and understanding of the limitations of the treatment is of utmost importance for good prognosis. Re-attachment of fractured tooth fragments offers a viable restorative option for the clinician because it restores tooth function and esthetics with the use of a very conservative and cost-effective approach. This article reports coronal teeth fracture cases that were successfully treated using tooth fragment re-attachment.
