    Author: Tayab T, Vizhi K, Srinivasan I.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2011 Apr; 27(2):159-62. PubMed ID: 21385317.
    Abstract:
    Dental traumatic injuries are widespread in the population and are a frequent pathology among children and teenagers. Dentists and especially pediatric dentists are commonly confronted with managing dental crown root fractures on a regular basis. Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) have been used as an alternative to conventional space maintainers in pediatric dentistry. We present here a case of a 11-year-old boy with oblique crown root fracture, treated by placing extracted natural crown with FRC as space maintainer.
