30 year old male presents for emergency visit

30 year old male from Israel presents for emergency visit. Chief complaint “I broke my bottom front tooth eating a bagel.” Intraoral exam revealed tooth #25 fractured above the gingival tissue.

Patient was told that esthetically bonding could be done until post & core and crown could be completed upon return to Israel. Tooth #25 was beveled, etched, bonded surfaces MIDLF with bonding shade A2. The tooth was shaped and occlusion adjusted. The patient was very happy with the esthetic results.
