Volume 103 Issue 5 SUMMARY This article presents an alternative treatment for the restoration of a maxillary central incisor following root fracture, which preserves the integrity of an existing complete maxillary rehabilitation. Instead of fabricating a fixed partial denture or a new implant-supported crown, the preexisting metal ceramic crown was reused following extraction of the fractured root and immediate implant placement. This approach permitted preservation of the patient’s esthetics, saved time, decreased costs, and minimized the psychological impact of anterior tooth loss.
