Abstract: This clinical report demonstrates the successful dental crown treatment for a 39-year-old female patient with a fractured posterior lower right second molar wearing a removable partial prosthesis and refusing to make a new one. The patient's preference for a new dental crown on her lower right second molar was respected, and an intraoral scanner (IOS) was employed to capture the fractured abutment's anatomy, which also serves as part of her removable denture. Following abutment preparation, a second IOS scan recorded the modified abutment. A temporary crown of the abutment was fabricated and secured to protect the prepared abutment. Comprehensive data, including an intraoral scan with an existing removable denture file, an intraoral scan without a removable denture, an intraoral scan of an unprepared abutment file, an intraoral scan of prepared abutment, and a digital photo of shade selection were transmitted to the dental laboratory. Utilizing computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology, a new dental crown compatible with the existing removable prosthesis was created. After fitting the new crown, occlusion, aesthetics, function, and attachment assessments were conducted to ensure optimal results. Subsequent follow-ups confirmed the patient's satisfaction with the functionality, aesthetics, and fit of her removable partial denture with the new dental crown.

Abstract: Tooth replantation is an operation in which the lost teeth due to various reasons are treated and replanted in the alveolar socket. The key lies in the regeneration of the alveolar blood vessels and the regeneration of the alveolar bone. Fluoride has been proved to be a substance that promotes the growth of bone cells and has been widely used worldwide. Fluorine is a rare element that mixes with bone minerals during the osteogenic phase. It is a known non hormonal factor that can affect bone formation and has a bidirectional regulatory effect on bone formation. Long term low doses can promote bone formation, while high doses can cause osteoporosis or osteosclerosis. Osteocalcin can regulate bone metabolism, maintain normal bone calcification, inhibit cartilage calcification and irregular crystal precipitation. The mechanism of action of fluoride is that fluoride can stimulate osteoblasts to secrete osteocalcin, allowing more hydroxyapatite crystals to combine with it and precipitate in the bone matrix. Therefore, an appropriate concentration of fluoride solution can promote bone remodeling of alveolar bone and dentin. Through the effect of fluorine on bone cells, fluoride can be applied to tooth replantation surgery in order to improve the success rate of surgery. It was found that fluoride can regulate bone formation by stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of immature osteoblasts, ultimately affecting tooth replantation.
