This report describes a case of a young patient in whom all the mandibular incisor teeth suffered complicated crown fractures because of a car accident. For all mandibular incisors, pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide were performed in order to achieve apexogenesis and the teeth were restored with a double‐seal of glass ionomer cement and composite resin. The patient was reviewed over 11 years. All the mandibular incisor teeth showed continued root development and complete apex formation. Pulp canal obliteration was observed in only the mandibular right central incisor.
