Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Dental anterior fractures are common injuries, especially in those who practice extreme sports. This report describes a 25-year-old Bolivian patient who attended our private dental clinic in La Paz, Bolivia after experiencing an accident during downhill mountain biking. An intraoral examination revealed a fracture line on the buccal side in the middle third of the coronal portion of the right central maxillary incisor which extended towards the proximal and lingual sides. Multidisciplinary treatment, including crown lengthening, osteotomy, root canal treatment, fiberglass post insertion, and reattachment of the fracture segment was performed. A follow-up examination at 10 months later revealed that the tooth was completely reestablished both functionally and esthetically and that there was no periapical pathosis or discomfort. This outcome suggests that if a patient seeks a dental consultation soon after a complex crown-root fracture has occurred, and if the broken tooth segment is available, then reattachment offers an economical and simple treatment option which will allow immediate restoration of functionality and esthetic standards. Continued follow-up should form part of such a treatment plan to allow long-term pulp vitality and periodontal health status to be monitored.
