Innovative management of complicated crown-root fracture with biomimetic materials: A case report with a 2-year follow-up

The concurrent complicated horizontal crown-root fracture and complicated vertical crown fracture are rarely delineated in the literature. This case report suggests a twophase singlevisit treatment to reinstate the maxillary lateral incisor with bioinspired materials. In Stage 1, endodontic therapy was given, followed by fracture fragment stabilization innovatively in Stage 2. At 2 years of follow-up, clinical examinations revealed satisfactory periodontal condition without mobility or discoloration of the tooth. Cone-beam computed tomography revealed a close approximation of the vertical fracture line and healing of the horizontal crown-root fracture with a type II pattern. This case report concludes that a minimally invasive procedural approach with biomimetic materials can be performed instead of extensive therapy like extraction.
