Abstract

Traumatic injuries are the most common dental problems after dental caries occurring in children, especially in the early teenage years. Such injuriesinclude tooth fracture with or without pulp involvement, intrusion, extrusion, and avulsion. Of these, avulsion is one of the mostsevere dental injuries and has a major psychological impact on the child. One of the complications of avulsion may include space loss due to mesial migration and rotations in the adjacent teeth which may require orthodontic correction following which immediate chairside replacement may be done with a long‐term provisional restoration before the placement of final implant prosthesis after stoppage of bone growth and development. This article presents an innovative, affordable chairside procedure in which multipurpose fiber‐reinforced composite is used to replace a single avulsed anterior tooth.
