Fracture of the facial cusp of an upper premolar tooth due to trauma following fainting

Fig. 2
The tooth was endodontically treated in the past; the entire facial cusp was lost. Dr Deliperi was able to save the tooth and avoid both tooth extraction and implant placement. He completed both a root planning and gingival plastic surgery

Fig. 3-4
Once tissue healing was completed, Dr Deliperi completed the restoration of the structurally compromised tooth using a fiber-reinforced composite resin in just one appointment.
