Anterior crown fracture from trauma is quite embarrassing for the patient because it impacts the facial esthetics of the person. These traumatic dental injuries are found to be maximum in the maxillary incisors. Treatment of these fractures poses a challenge to the clinician as the main objective of the treatment is to restore esthetics and phonetics of the patient along with pain management. Several treatment methods are available but restoring the patient’s own fractured fragment of tooth if available is the most viable restorative technique as it provides fast and esthetically pleasing results. Hence, this article reports the successful management of crown fracture which was treated with reattachment technique using fibre post.
