This case report describes the delayed endodontic and prosthetic treatment of two maxillary central incisors in a 16‐year‐old patient. Both teeth had been traumatized eight years previously. The examination revealed arrested root formation with wide open apices, periapical inflammation and inflammatory resorption. Endodontic treatment with calcium hydroxide led to formation of hard tissue barriers in both teeth so that definite obturation could be performed. One tooth was lost due to a deep crown‐root‐fracture and replaced by an intraosseous implant, whereas the other incisor was retained for nearly four years.
