Visitor asks:

My daughter broke off half of her upper central incisor and chipped the lateral incisor slightly. Since these are permanent teeth, I would like to know how this can be repaired. The roots are not damaged. Can it be repaired nicely and how? Are any further complications possible?
Thank you for your answer. Špela

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam!

If there is only a fracture of dentine and enamel, with the dental pulp not exposed to the outside and the tooth showing no pathological symptoms (apart from sensitivity), the tooth crown can simply be rebuilt with composite materials. If this build-up is not sufficient, the tooth can be restored with an artificial crown.
If the dental pulp was affected, the tooth must first undergo root canal treatment and only then be restored with a post and a dental crown.

Have a nice day!
