One of the most frequent incidents in the life of a child or adolescent, and which can also occur in adulthood, is the fracture of a tooth: a simple fall, a trip, or a 'ball' to the face or mouth are more than enough reasons to fracture a tooth.
Depending on the severity of the trauma, the extent of the fracture... and a host of factors that only an experienced and professional dentist can accurately and adequately assess, we will need to solve the problem with a more or less complex treatment.
In any case, in this post of our blog, which focuses on patients in the Region of MurciaWe would like to point out today that, in most cases, the simplest solution will be the most effective, both for the professional and for the patient, who should always enjoy maximum aesthetics despite a setback of this type.
In this case, we are dealing with an adolescent patient who, while playing sport, suffered a small blow that resulted in a fracture of the edge of one of his upper central incisors (known as 'paletas' or 'paletos').
To solve this, it is decided to restore with a composite, i.e. a resin like the one we use to make fillings, but with special aesthetic characteristics that allow us to guarantee the success of our restoration.
In this way, we achieve excellent aesthetic results, as well as predictable and efficient mastication... so that the only thing left to be done for the dentist expert in aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry is to remind the patient of the importance of taking extra care the next time he/she does sport!
