- Restaurações de fracturas coronárias de dentes anterioresPublication . Melo, Paulo; Domingues, Joana; Teixeira, Liliana; Manarte-Monteiro, Patricia; Monteiro, BeatrizNowadays crown fractures of anterior teeth are getting more common in children and teenagers. These kinds of accidents can affect them for the rest of them lives, behalf of their age, gender or socioeconomic status. This is one of the reasons why dentists are always trying to find different solutions for the treatment of these cases. Mainly in anterior teeth fractures involving enamel or enamel and dentin, one has the direct restoration solution, using composite resin. In this case, the introduction of the “self-etch” technique, and the evolution of adhesive systems and the better physical and aesthetic behaviour of the composite resins, lead to better results. Thus, one can consider the direct restoration as a valid solution that can be done quickly and still is aesthetic and as an excellent clinical behaviour. The authors present a clinical case of an extended traumatic fracture treated with a micro-hibrid composite resin.
