Title: Fracture reattachment in an immature permanent incisor with talon’s cusp. A rare case report
Abstract: Aim To report the successful and conservative management
of a fractured immature permanent maxillary incisor tooth
with talon cusp by fracture reattachment.
Summary Coronal fractures of the maxillary anterior
teeth are common dental injuries. Among these, the
complicated fractures especially in immature teeth require
an unambiguous treatment without any delay. When the
tooth fragment is available and there is no (or minimal)
violation of the biological width, reattachment is the
preferable choice. It is a conservative procedure in which
the original anatomic form, color, tooth contour, surface
texture and aesthetics are preserved. The prognosis of this
procedure depends on the patient’s cooperation, good
understanding about the treatment limitations and periodic
follow up. This report emphasises the management of
coronal fracture in immature teeth by reattachment.
