– Dental traumas are highly prevalent lesions in primary teeth, but crown‐root fractures are seldom observed in posterior teeth of this dentition. The aim of the present report was to describe the diagnosis, treatment, and a 24‐month follow‐up of an unusual case of complicated crown‐root fracture in a lower first primary molar of a 3‐year‐old boy.
