Abstract
Complicated crown fractures involving the pulp present significant challenges in dental trauma management, particularly when the fracture extends subgingivally. This case report describes a multidisciplinary treatment approach involving rapid orthodontic extrusion and glass fibre post placement for the restoration of a fractured maxillary lateral incisor. The treatment effectively repositions the fractured tooth structure, allowing for optimal restoration while maintaining the integrity of the natural tooth. This protocol highlights a minimally invasive, aesthetic, and functional solution for complex crown fractures.
