Trauma to anterior tooth is prevalent among adolescents. An immediate management of complicated crown fracture is reattachment of fragments or biologic tooth restoration. The present case series elucidate the fracture reattachment using conventional preparation design for resin restoration. The adhesive reattachment provides an original tooth color and contour that aids in rehabilitation of traumatized tooth. The present case series depicts that fracture reattachment is a viable, conservative and esthetic alternative for treatment of complicated crown fracture. The long-term prognosis is still obscure, but it is an immediate technique of esthetic rehabilitation.
