ABSTRACT

Oral trauma is common in both children and adults. Different clinical forms are encountered, requiring the clinician to make a correct diagnosis and provide rapid and effective treatment to preserve the vital and/or functional prognosis of the tooth. In the case of a coronal fracture, the bonding of the tooth fragment is a therapeutic procedure that is particularly advantageous from an aesthetic point of view, ensuring better preservation of the tooth's physical and chemical characteristics. This technique is simple and economic. It can be a replacement for the time-consuming procedures of conventional corono-radicular reconstruction. The main aim is to restore function and aesthetics, while retaining the original morphology, color and texture. Using a clinical case study, this paper illustrates the steps involved in the corono-radicular restoration of a fractured tooth by fragment bonding, and discusses the factors that play a role in the therapeutic decision, highlighting the essential points that determine the success of this technique.
