Abstract
A review and discussion of the literature has been presented on the reconstruction of the fractured anterior teeth. It has been pointed out that the restoration of a fractured incisors involves the successive steps of preparation, pulp protection, acid etching, bonding, composite insertion, finishing and glazing. The preparation extends 1 mm to cervical from the enamel edge of the fractured defect and to halfway through enamel thickness. The use of the etching and bonding agents improve a marginal seal and adaptation of the composite resin. The placement of a liner as calcium hydroxide over the exposed dentin is indicated to cover the cut dentinal tubules and to insulate the dental pulp from the chemical irritation of composite resin, and to minimize pulpal irritations. Composite resin restorative materials and acid-etch technique provide the most effective anterior tooth repair in modern child dentistry which enables to repair the broken teeth of a young patients quickly and painless.
