Subject: [roots] Lucky girl

This young girl ( 9 y) has been real lucky. She hit an iron post at the playground of her school.
This tooth has been lucky too. Instead of getting avulsed he just gave away the distal part of his crown.
No perio involvement, sensitivity to cold was normal, no mobility, no root fraktur. pulp was not exposed.
When her mother called, I was standing next to my assistant and told her to tell the patients mother,
to have a look for possible fragments. They went back to the playground and found the palatinal part!
You can see the metal impact mark on the tooth. I bonded the distal part with a flowable composite and
then "filled" the gap. Will see here for sensitivity testing - Jörg Schröder
