Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the common cause of dental injury that mostly affect maxillary anterior teeth.The immediate reattachment of original fractured tooth fragment is a good alternative option in the view of emergency treatment for maintaining esthetics and functions if the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture. With the advances in adhesive system as well as prefabricated esthetic post, the option for choosing reattachment leads to more predictable outcome for immediate esthetic rehabilitation of the patient. This paper presents a case report wherein reattachment was considered as treatment plan for fractured maxillary right lateral incisor. The six months follow up revealed good function and esthetics as well as no changes in radiographic features.
