  • Title: Surgical exposure and crown lengthening for management of complicated fractures of maxillary anterior teeth. A case report.
    Author: Anand PS, Ashok S, Nandakumar K, Varghese NO, Kamath KP.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2013 Nov; 79(6):41-6. PubMed ID: 24600764.
    Abstract:
    When a tooth fracture occurs, the fracture line can extend in a variety of directions, and the direction of the fracture line often dictates the treatment plan. In cases where fracture lines extend apical to the gingival margin, exposure of fractured margins becomes necessary. And management of such tooth fractures often requires an interdisciplinary approach involving endodontic, periodontic and restorative procedures. This article describes a case in which severely traumatized maxillary anterior teeth were managed by a combined approach involving surgical exposure and crown lengthening, endodontic and restorative procedures.
