Abstract

Traumatic injuries to permanent incisors not only cause esthetic but functional as well as psychological problems to patients. This case report describes treatment approach of a subgingivally fractured permanent maxillary central incisor. Conventional root canal treatment followed by orthodontic extrusion was performed for the fractured tooth to bring the fracture margins to supragingival level. The tooth was then restored with fiber post and core.
