Restoration of a fractured anterior tooth

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1978
A fragment of tooth missing for three years was found in the patients' lower lip. The fragment was surgically removed and cleaned. It was restored to its original position on the maxillary left incisor with an acid etch resin technique. After three months, the restoration was satisfactory.

Tooth fracture in vivo and in vitro

Journal of Dentistry, 1992
The incidence, causes and methods of investigating tooth fracture are reviewed. This is a problem of increasing clinical significance, with many predisposing factors. Large restorations and extensive carious lesions tend to be associated with most fractures, with fracture incidence being higher in first permanent molars than other tooth types ...

MANAGING INCOMPLETE TOOTH FRACTURES

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 2000
The author presents an evidence-based protocol for the diagnosis and treatment of incomplete tooth fractures. It is designed to help dentists recognize fractures, distinguish between restorable and nonrestorable fractures, and follow a rational approach to treatment.An incomplete tooth fracture is a frequently encountered problem that dentists need to ...

Temporization of an extensively fractured anterior tooth

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1982
Abstract A technique has been described for making a temporary restoration for an extensively fractured anterior tooth (Fig. 5). The esthetic and functional requirements are met with the acrylic resin and polycarbonate crown. Stability is met primarily with the endodontic file and secondarily with the resin coronal seal of the canal.

Repair technique for a fractured crowned tooth

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1977
A simple technique is presented in which an existing crown can be replaced on a broken endodontically treated tooth in one appointment. This can reduce the working time and expense required for a new crown.

Risk indicators for posterior tooth fracture

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 2004
Identifying posterior teeth that are at heightened risk of developing cusp fracture is an inexact science. Risk indicators based on controlled observations are not available, and dentists' assessments vary.The authors conducted a case-control study of cusp fracture in restored posterior teeth.

Acute care of severe tooth fractures

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1983
Teeth that are severely fractured and demonstrate vital tissue at the fracture line may be treated acutely by extirpating the pulp. This technique leaves the patient free of pain until secondary care is available.

Role of multiple cusps in tooth fracture

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2014
The role of multiple cusps in the biomechanics of human molar tooth fracture is analysed. A model with four cusps at the bite surface replaces the single dome structure used in previous simulations. Extended finite element modelling, with provision to embed longitudinal cracks into the enamel walls, enables full analysis of crack propagation from ...

Potential for tooth fracture in restorative dentistry

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1981
Increasing awareness of tooth fracture, both complete and incomplete, as a significant disease entity has led to improved diagnostic techniques. By using compact, easily handled, fiber optic instruments for transillumination and by developing a "predisposition index" to assist in the evaluation of fracture potential, new dimensions have been added in ...

Using crowns to prevent tooth fracture

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1996
Abstract Placing crowns to prevent tooth fracture is thought to be a common but infrequently documented treatment procedure. Two studies are described that provide information about dentists’ use of crowns to prevent tooth fracture. North Carolina general dentists indicated that 44% of the crowns they placed were for the principal reason of fracture ...
