Abstract
Introduction: Traumatic dental injuries commonly occur to the maxillary incisors because of their position in the oral cavity. Depending on the event’s intensity, the teeth may be frequently fractured at different levels. Observation: This case report describes the clinical procedures involved in the treatment of a complicated fracture in the right maxillary incisors in a 40-year-old male patient, due to road traffic accident. After clinical and radiograph examination, endodontic treatment was decided to restore the complicated crowns fracture with fiber posts and cores followed by all ceramic crowns. The teeth were satisfactory both aesthetically and functionally. Discussion: Fiber post has better homogeneous tension distribution when loaded and advantageous optical properties. Therefore, a combined use of fiber posts and translucent zirconia provides satisfying esthetic results and improved mechanical properties.
