ABSTRACT
This case report shows the treatment of a severe traumatic tooth injury. For the maxillary right central incisor, the trauma was considered a complicated crown-root fracture. The level of the fracture line, the length of the remaining root segment, and the presence and condition of the tooth fragment determined the type of therapy. Traumatized teeth with fractures below the alveolar crest are often considered hopeless. As this report shows, the treatment of a complicated crown-root fracture in the esthetic region can be challenging. Orthodontic extrusion and crown-length surgery were performed to bring the fracture line above the alveolar bone crest. A multidisciplinary approach was required for complete rehabilitation of the traumatized maxillary incisor. Suggestions are made to improve treatment planning of complicated crown-root fractures.
