Aim To describe the replantation of a vertically fractured root‐filled maxillary central incisor after repair with adhesive resin. Summary Root‐filled teeth with vertical root fractures are usually extracted as they generally have a poor prognosis. In this case, an 18‐month follow‐up of a replanted incisor with vertical root fracture is presented with clinical and radiographic documentation. Key learning points • Replantation of root‐filled incisors with complete vertical root fracture after resin bonding might be a realistic alternative to extraction. • Practitioners should be aware of the possible disadvantages as well as advantages associated with failure of a replanted incisor with complete vertical root fracture.
