From Trauma to Transformation: A Case Report of Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation of Fractured and Discoloured Maxillary Incisors
Managing complicated crown-root fractures in the aesthetic zone presents significant clinical challenges, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to ensure both functional and aesthetic success. This case report describes the comprehensive rehabilitation of a 20-year-old male with discoloured and fractured maxillary incisors following trauma. The treatment plan involved four phases: endodontic therapy to address pulpal necrosis, orthodontic retraction to create adequate overjet, surgical template-guided crown lengthening using electrosurgery for precise tissue management, and prosthodontic rehabilitation with post-core-supported layered zirconia crowns. The collaborative efforts of endodontists, orthodontists, periodontists, and prosthodontists ensured meticulous planning and execution at each stage. Prefabricated glass fibre posts provided structural reinforcement, while the use of a surgical template facilitated controlled crown lengthening, maintaining biological width and achieving superior aesthetics. The integration of advanced materials and techniques resulted in a functionally stable, aesthetically pleasing outcome, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary coordination in complex anterior dental restorations.
