Esthetics is always the first concern of the reporting patient. &nbsp;Reattachment of the fractured fragment is possible when patient seeks immediate dental treatment along with the fractured fragment. </span>Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments can provide good and long-lasting esthetics (because the tooth&rsquo;s original anatomic form, color, and surface texture are maintained). It also restores function, provides a positive psychological response, and is a relatively simple procedure. <span style="color:#231F20">This clinical case report describes the treatment of a complex crown fracture of maxillary central incisor using fractured fragment along with prefaicated post. The fragment was attached using composite.</span></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:&#10;justify;line-height:normal;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;&#10;color:#231F20;mso-bidi-language:OR">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:&#10;justify;line-height:normal;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;&#10;color:#231F20;mso-bidi-language:OR">Clinical Significance<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:&#10;justify;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal;mso-layout-grid-align:none;&#10;text-autospace:none"><i><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;mso-bidi-language:OR">Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments offers a viable restorative option for the clinician because it restores tooth function and esthetics with the use of a very conservative and cost-effective approach.<span style="color:#231F20"><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></p>
