Abstract

One of the most common form of trauma to tooth in children and adolescents is coronal fracture of anterior teeth. The most conservative and acceptable treatment in these cases is immediate fragment reattachment. By this way, original dental anatomy can be restored and it also allows rehabilitation of function and aesthetics of tooth within a very short period. For good prognosis, patient cooperation is of utmost importance. A case of coronal tooth fracture is reported that was successfully treated by tooth fragment reattachment.
