Prognosis of Fragment Reattachment in Anterior Crown Fractures: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of esthetic and restorative dentistry : official publication of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry ... [et al.], 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveAlthough several studies have compared fragment attachment with resin build-ups in anterior crown fractures, none have specifically investigated the outcome of reattached fragments. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate long-term outcomes of fragment reattachment in anterior crown fractures and determine the prognostic affecting their success. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical records of patients who underwent fragment reattachment for crown fractures in anterior teeth (maxillary and mandibular central and lateral incisors) between 2008 and 2023. All procedures were performed by experienced professors and residents following a standardized protocol. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to evaluate fragment retention outcomes and identify potential prognostic factors.
resultsAmong 75 anterior crown fractures, the estimated fragment retention rates were 83.7% at 2 years, 75.2% at 5 years, and 56.4% at 10 years. Multivariate Cox regression analyses identified patient age and extent of crown fracture as significant factors affecting outcomes. The 5-year estimated fragment retention rates were 82.8% and 67.0% for uncomplicated and complicated crown fractures, respectively.
conclusionsFragment reattachment remains a viable treatment option for anterior crown fractures. Treatment success decreased with patient age, and complicated crown fractures demonstrated lower retention rates than uncomplicated ones. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Fragment reattachment can provide predictable outcomes in anterior crown fractures when cases are carefully selected, particularly considering the patient's age and the type of crown fracture.
