This article describes the restoration of an intruded root using a custom‐made metal dowel and metal‐ceramic veneer core restoration. The treatment plan for this patient consisted of restoring the missing esthetics and eliminating psychological trauma by utilizing the root of the intruded maxillary left central incisor to replace both missing central incisor crowns. This treatment will preserve space and bone until the patient is old enough for another prosthodontic restoration to be considered. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE As the lost fragments were not recovered, we considered this restoration of the intruded root to be the best therapeutic option, considering the effect on the patient’s psyche. The patient was satisfied with the final result. ( J Esthet Restor Dent 19:316–323, 2007)
