    Author: Lima Mde D, de Moura MS, Leopoldino Vde D, Batista-Netto Ode S, Carvalho CM, Moura Lde F.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2012; 60(2):e101-3. PubMed ID: 22414512.
    Abstract:
    In the primary dentition, traumatic injuries affecting the tooth-supporting structures are common due to increased bone resilience in children. Crown-root fracture, defined as a fracture involving enamel, dentin, and cementum, is uncommon in the primary dentition, comprising only 2% of dental traumas. This article reports the treatment and follow-up of a 2-year-old boy who suffered a traumatic crown-root fracture involving a primary anterior incisor that was fused to a supernumerary tooth.
