Objectives The present study aimed to investigate the effect of casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) complex and the type of flowable composite (conventional or self-adhesive bioactive) on the fracture resistance of fractured incisors restored through reattachment technique.  Materials and Methods In this experimental in vitro study, 60 extracted bovine central mandibular incisors were randomly divided into six groups (n = 10) according to the reattachment technique. Their incisal edges were cut off to represent an enamel–dentin fracture. The fragment edges were reattached as follows: Group 1—selective etching and bonding followed by conventional flowable composite; Group 2—selective etching and bonding followed by bioactive flowable composite; Group 3 was like Group 2 but without applying bonding; Groups 4, 5, and 6 were similar to Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively, but both tooth fragments were pretreated with CPP-ACP-containing paste for 3 minutes. Fracture resistance was assessed by a universal testing machine.  Statistical Analysis Data were analyzed by SPSS—Statistical Package for the Social Sciences—software using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey post-hoc tests (α= 0.05).  Results The highest and lowest fracture resistance was recorded in Groups 5 (15.96 MPa) and Group 6 (1.95 MPa), respectively, being significantly different from the other groups. The mean fracture resistance of Groups 3 and 6 was significantly lower than the other groups (p &lt; 0.05). However, Groups 1, 2, and 4 showed no difference in fracture resistance.  Conclusion Bioactive composite was not superior to conventional composite for fragment reattachment, but using it in self-adhesive mode reduced the fracture strength significantly. Yet, pretreatment with CPP-ACP, followed by application of adhesive, improved the fracture resistance of bioactive composite.
