Treatment of Crown root fracture extending subgingivally has problems like isolation, maintenance of biological width and restoration. In order to eliminate these problems, various treatment procedures such as Crown lengthening, orthodontic or surgical extrusion are done with reasonable success rates. This article discusses two cases of Crown root fracture, treated with intra alveolar transplantation with 180΀ rotation, which provides the advantage of exposing the fracture line above epithelial attachment, maintain biological width and achieve a good finish line.Twelve months follow-up clinically and radiographically reveal acceptable results with no obvious signs and symptoms of failure, with the patient having normal function and esthetics.
