Esthetic rehabilitation of crown fractured anterior teeth is one of the greatest challenges to the dental specialist in concern of long term biological function. Complicated crown fractures involving the enamel, dentin and pulp constitute a major share of all dental injuries and are most common in maxillary central incisors. A fractured anterior tooth requires immediate clinical attention and if untreated, can cause damage to dentition and even have a psychological impact on the patient. This case report represents the management of a fractured left maxillary lateral incisor of 21 year old male patient were his own fractured tooth fragments restored by reattachment technique. The clinical examination revealed complicated crown fracture extending subgingivally with pulp exposure. The treatment included root canal treatment and glass fiber post for reinforcement. The tooth fragment was luted with light activated flowable composite rein and showed good esthetics.
