Trauma and biting on hard things are major causes of fracture of teeth. Fracture of teeth can be of various types.

It can be a crown fracture in which the enamel, dentine and/ or pulp can be affected. Depending on the extent of crown fracture, we do recontouring , or cosmetic resin bonding , or in case of pulp damage, a root canal treatment followed by cosmetic reconstruction of the tooth with the help of veneers or crowns.

A root fracture can be horizontal or vertical. A lot of dentists extract teeth with root fractures. Under the microscope we can try to save the tooth by root resection or microsurgery.
