Abstract
Dental injuries are considered emergency situations that require immediate care. Traumatic dental injury (TDI) is a common concern among children worldwide. If a tooth fragment is available, it can be bonded to the tooth.
Appropriate management of anterior tooth fracture not only restores the function and esthetics but also provides a positive psychological impact for the patient. One of the most conservative approaches for such a restoration is reattachment, if fracture fragment is available. This case report describes the management of Ellis Class II fracture by reattachment. Reattachment of fractured fragment is indeed a cost-effective conservative treatment.
