Özet

A 16-year-old patient who fractured her maxillary central incisors is presented. One of the original tooth fragments was available. The fracture was clean and there was no pulpal exposure. Juxtaposition of the fragment to the tooth showed that the margins of each fitted well against each other and no interfragmentary space was present. The fragment was re-attached with an adhesive bonding agent and the other tooth was restored with a resin composite. The esthetic result achieved in a single appointment was excellent. The tooth was vital and there was no change in the color of the tooth in 1-year recall. © 2007 Blackwell Munksgaard.
