ABSTRACT

Coronal fractures of the anterior teeth are the most common form of dental trauma that mainly affects the maxillary incisors because of their position in the arch. It has been a common challenge for dental professionals because many different protocols for treatment are currently available. Reattachment of tooth fragments is one of the most conservative options for managing coronal tooth fractures, especially when the fractured fragment is intact with adequate and correctly preserved margins. The study aimed to evaluate and compare the fracture resistance and detect the type of failure among the Paracore, Resin cement, and Flowable composite used to reattach the fractured tooth fragment in anterior teeth.
