The tooth fragment reattachment is found to be the ideal method of restoring the fractured crown whenever the fragment is present in toto. The fragment reattachment provides optimal esthetics with minimal loss of tooth structure. It is very economical and requires a single visit for the restoration. It maintains the natural integrity like color, contour and texture there by fulfilling the aesthetic requirements deemed by the patient. Temporary functional and aesthetic restoration is necessary for traumatised anterior teeth. Composite resins have traditionally been used to repair such damage. The main drawbacks of these items are colour mismatch and inconsistent wear. The therapeutic approaches range from straightforward reattachment to intricate multidisciplinary methods. The emergence of adhesive dentistry has made fragment reattachment easier and more dependable. Utilizing mineral trioxide aggregate, pulpotomy was carried out in this case report, and critical tissues were then reattached using composite resin restoration.
