Fracture of anterior teeth is a very common form of dental injuries among children and young adolescents. Various treatment modalities have been practiced in past but reattachment of fractured fragment is considered to be most conservative, natural and esthetic approach. The restoration of natural teeth form, color and alignment in these patients create a positive social and emotional response in such patients. This article discusses a case of 16 year old female patient with fractured right central incisor(ellis class 3 fracture). Reattachment of fractured fragment was done after single sitting endodontic treatment with bonding system and dual cure composite resin cement. Evaluation at 1 year yields good reattachment, intact post, good esthetics and good periodontal health.
