A vertical crown‐root fracture of the mandibular first primary molar in a 21‐month‐old child is presented. The mandibular primary first molar was fractured vertically and split into 2 pieces. The tooth fracture had not been noticed for about 5 months after the accident, and the tooth was left without any treatment. The pulp tissue of the mesial root maintained its vitality, but the distal root was nonvital.
