Resin short post retention for reattachment of a fractured crown in a young permanent tooth with complicated crown-root fracture and root fracture: a case report

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2025.2024458

Abstract

Abstract:

This report presents a case of a 9-year-old child with a complicated crown-root fracture of the maxillary central incisor, accompanied with a root fracture. The treatment strategy was minimally invasive, focusing on vital pulp preservation, root fracture recovery, and crown restoration. The fractured crown was reattached using resin short posts to enhance retention, resulting in aesthetic and functional restoration of the anterior teeth. A 2-year follow-up revealed favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Key words: complicated crown-root fracture, root fracture, fragment reattachment, minimally invasive treatment, young permanent teeth
