The author developed approximately 10 years ago a simple and useful method called “a wire-binding repositioning technique” to salvage a molar suffering from a complete vertical fracture.
Since then, many severely fractured molars have been rehabilitated by this technique providing the following benefits.
1) Preventing immediately the fracture propagation, 2) Improving the pathological and functional status of damaged Periodontal tissues, 3) Facilitating successful endodontic treatment and the restoration procedure. This article reports the long term clinical results and prognosis of the rehabilitated molars, also introducing the technical refinements in the treatment.
