## TL;DR

A 10-year-old boy's complex tooth fracture was successfully treated in one visit using root canal therapy and bonding techniques.

## Contribution

A multidisciplinary approach for crown-root fractures in pediatric patients is demonstrated effectively in a single appointment.

## Key findings

- Stable fragment reattachment was achieved over 12 months with good periodontal health.
- Agingivectomy improved margin visibility and restored biological width.
- The use of a custom mouthguard helped prevent future dental trauma.

## Abstract

A 10‐year‐old male presented with a mobile and fractured maxillary right central incisor following dental trauma. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed a chisel‐type crown‐root fracture with supragingival labial and subgingival palatal extensions. A direct crown reattachment was planned, emphasizing biological width preservation. After removing the coronal fragment, endodontic treatment was performed using a rotary file system and was obturated with a bioceramic sealer. A fiber post was selected and integrated into the fractured fragment, which was reattached using resin cement. Additionally, a gingivectomy was performed to enhance margin visibility and restore biological width. The adjacent left central incisor was treated for an uncomplicated crown fracture using follow‐up evaluations over 12 months revealed stable fragment reattachment, good periodontal health, and restored aesthetics and function. A custom mouthguard was provided to prevent future trauma. This case highlights the efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach combining endodontic, restorative, and periodontal techniques for managing crown‐root fractures, achieving favorable long‐term outcomes in pediatric patients.
