Root canal perforation during endodontic therapy is one of the most commonly encountered clinical situations that necessitates interdisciplinary therapy. Case Presentation: This case report presents the use of periodontal and prosthodontic teamwork to treat severely deteriorated anterior esthetics caused by an iatrogenically induced marginal tissue recession defect. Conclusion: In the case of deterioration of anterior dental esthetics, an interdisciplinary approach can successfully restore both esthetics and function, as observed in this case report.
