Emergency reattachment of fractured tooth. Using dentin bonding agent and flowable composite.
A case has been described that employed two restorative techniques used in novel ways. A dentin bonding system was used to reattach a fractured tooth fragment and a new flowable resin composite was placed to "fill in the cracks." This technique was recommended only as a temporary restoration and was used during an emergency visit. The restoration was accomplished in a timely fashion and can be recommended for use if excellent technique, including the use of the rubber dam, is followed.
