Treatment of uncomplicated crown fractures of permanent central incisors with the help of digital dental technology – a case report
Abstract:
Traumatic dental injuries remain a significant concern in paediatric dentistry, particularly when involving the permanent dentition. They result often in fractured permanent teeth, which present unique challenges in terms of aesthetics, function, and long-term prognosis. In recent years, the advent of digital technologies has profoundly influenced the diagnosis, treatment planning, and restoration of fractured permanent teeth in children. These technologies enable precise, minimally invasive, and patient-friendly restoration in case of traumatic dental injuries. This clinical case demonstrates successful treatment of uncomplicated crown fractures of maxillary central incisors in eight-year-old boy, using intraoral scanning, digital planning and 3D printing to create a precise replica of the palatal surface.
