Enameloplasty in interdisciplinary treatment of dental injuries – case report

Abstract

Case presentation: Traumatic lesions of the upper incisor group can target only one of the dental topographical areas, being represented by crown fractures with or without affecting the pulp chamber, crown-root or root fractures or they can also involve the alveolar process. Another category of dental trauma can be represented by complete or incomplete dental dislocations, as well as traumatic tooth avulsion. Material and method: In this study we presented the case of the 12-year-old patient with traumatic avulsion of the two upper central incisors. The interdisciplinary treatment performed was orthodontic and direct restorative. We used Herculite dental composites system from Kerr, Germany. Discussions/Conclusions: The direct restorative composites are able to perform as an intermediate solution during the complex treatment when morphological dental transformations are required and to facilitate the objectives of the orthodontic treatment in frontal traumatic injuries.
