  • Title: Incisal edge reattachment: literature review and treatment perspectives.
    Author: Murchison DF, Worthington RB.

    Abstract:
    Anterior crown fractures in children and adolescents are a common form of injury, affecting approximately 25% of that population. Common restorative treatments such as composite bonding, laminate veneers, or full-coverage restorations tend to sacrifice healthy tooth structure and challenge dentists to match the adjacent unrestored dentition. Incisal edge fragment reattachment, including the use of current bonding techniques, is a restorative treatment option that offers the advantages of simplicity, immediate esthetics, and conservatism in cases of dental trauma. This article presents a comprehensive literature review on this restorative technique. It also provides diagnostic and treatment algorithms to simplify and clarify the recommended diagnostic and clinical regimens.
