ABSTRACT
Restoration of a traumatically injured tooth presents a clinical challenge for a predictable aesthetic outcome. This case report describes a multidisciplinary approach of a subgingivally fractured permanent maxillary central incisor.

Form and function were restored establishing biological width and esthetics was repaired with porcelain fused to metal crown.
