Abstract
Introduction:
Fracture of tooth structure at or below the gingival margin compromises rehabilitation and hampers esthetics and function.
Management:
Management of such cases by a post-core and crown restoration, or periodontal surgery or orthodontic extrusion alone may not always suffice in attaining a good result.
Case Report:
A multi-disciplinary approach which includes all of the above mentioned procedures helps in long term success.
Conclusion:
Careful case evaluation, treatment planning and meticulous attention to detail are the keys to the best treatment outcome.
Keywords: Tooth fracture, Gingival margin, Crown restoration, Orthodontic extrusion, Alveolar ridge, Maxillary anterior teeth.
