Abstract

Mostly affected teeth from dental trauma are maxillary anterior teeth . The immediate agglutination of original fractured tooth part is a good alternative option in the scope of emergency treatment for remaining esthetical and functional problems. In this case presentation, the endodontic and esthetic treatment approach of crown and crown-root fractures that were occurred in various levels is shown.
