Traumatized anterior teeth require quick functional and esthetic repair. Tooth fragment reattachment is a simple and conservative clinical procedure to restore fractured anterior teeth. Different techniques of reattachment include enamel beveling, "v-" shaped internal enamel and dentin grooves, external chamfer, over contouring, and by placing fiber post, all of which were invasive methods. This article describes a novel technique of reattachment using canal projectors for stabilizing fractured fragments followed by endodontic therapy and internal reinforcement with custom fiber post (everStick Post™, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).
