– This case describes the esthetic management of a fractured tooth at first visit and its subsequent treatments to restore the esthetics and function. Patients expect adequate esthetics immediately after the first appointment. In addition, they require that esthetics is maintained throughout the definitive treatment phase as well. After the use of the fractured crown fragment as a temporary crown, a root canal treatment was undertaken in a conventional manner. The rehabilitation of the fractured tooth was performed with a post‐core‐supported prosthetic restoration. Examination at 18 months after treatment revealed good esthetics and normal function.
