AbstractTraumatic crown fractures which are caused from dental injuries are a serious dental public health problem. Coronal fractures of permanent incisors represent 18-22% of all traumas to dental hard tissues, 28-44% being simple (enamel +dentin) and 11-15% complex (enamel +dentin +pulp). Of these 96% involve maxillary central incisors. The reattachment of the crown fragment to the fractured tooth is the best method to reinstate natural shape, contour, surface texture, occlusal alignment and color of the fragment. This article addresses the treatment regimen of a horizontal crown fracture of maxillary central incisor at cervical level that offers simplicity, esthetics and conservation in cases of dental trauma.
