Abstract:
Traumatic dental injuries are frequent problems among teenagers, affecting aesthetics, functionality and
quality of life. With regards to the present case, there was an inadequate restorative space for anterior restorations
due to the dentoalveolar compensation two years after a traumatic event and was particularly challenging. The use
of the Dahl concept to create restorative space is well documented particularly in patients with localized tooth wear.
However, there are no evidence to justify the feasibility of Dahl concept application on the fractured teeth. The
purpose of this article is to provide a detailed description regarding this technique to create the necessary
restorative space of the fractured teeth.
