Abstract

Fracture of anterior tooth occurs frequently in dentistry. Tooth reconstruction can be done by fragment reattachment and this procedure is known as “Biological Restoration.” Advances in restorative materials, placement techniques and preparation design help the clinician to restore fractured teeth. Using minimal invasive approach treatment of the maxillary anterior region can be completed effortlessly within a single appointment. This case report describes the successful outcome of a coronal tooth fracture that was treated using fibre posts for fragment reattachment.
