The technique of reattaching traumatically fractured crown segments using bonded tooth‐colored materials has improved over the last decade. The latest advancement is the use of a new visible light‐hardened glass ionomer material for rapid initial replacement of detached coronal structure. This paper demonstrates a step‐by‐step procedure for coronal repair using light‐hardened glass ionomer material and application of broad plane bonded composite resin for strength and natural appearance.
