Abstract
A simple crown fracture refers to acrown fracture tooth without compromising the dental pulp. This type of dental trauma is common in the maxillary area. Depending on the extent
of the fracture, it may affect only the enamel structure or involve both the enamel
and the dentin, without exposing dental pulp. When located in the anterior region,
the crown fracture disfigures the facial aesthetic, the smilingand leads to psychosocial, aesthetic, and functional repercussions for the patient. The most commonetiology
is the patient'sfall or a collision during sports or daily activities. Generaly, noninvasive ther apeutic involves direct composite crown restoration or the option of reattaching
the fractured dental fragment. Invasive management tends toward prosthetic restoration. Nonconservative management leads to tooth extraction. The aim of this research was
to describe the the rapeutic decision-making process chosen by odontostomatologists practicing in Antananarivo when they faced with a case of simple coronal dental fracture. The results of the cross-sectional descriptive study highlighted the tendency to wards invasive the rapies.
