Abstract

Anterior crown fractures are a common form of injury that mainly affects children and adolescents due to their position in the oral cavity especially in the maxillary arch. Reattachment of original tooth fragment to the fractured tooth forms a relatively quick, biologic and esthetic restoration. A 28 years old male reported to the Department of conservative dentistry&endodontics with a complex crown fracture of 21 and 22 one day after the trauma had occurred. Following endodontic treatment, a glass fibre post was used to increase retention and distribute stresses along the tooth. The dental restoration was completed using the original fragment and a dual cure resin composite. Clinical and radiographic examination at 3, 6&11 months recall showed the glass fiber post and restoration was in place, indicating the success of the treatment in maintaining the fractured tooth.
