Abstract

Abstract: Crown root fractures of anterior teeth are complex dental injuries that present unique challenges due to the involvement of both the crown and root structures. These fractures often lead to concomitant periodontal injury, which can complicate the treatment outcome. Additionally, anterior fractures pose aesthetic and psychological concerns for the patient. Reattachment or restorative repair of fractures involving the coronal third of the root are notoriously prone to failure due to their proximity to the oral cavity leading to difficulty in isolation and bacterial contamination. Sub crestal fracture lines may also encroach the biological width complicating the management further. This case report details the clinical presentation of a patient with an anterior crown root fracture with the fracture line extending below the alveolar crest and was managed non-conventionally using Biodentine.
