Abstract
Traumatic injuries lead to fracture of anterior teeth, frequently occurs in dentistry and the prevalence rate of fractured anterior teeth, as a result of traumatic injuries, occurs 8.1 in 1000. The fracture of a tooth is itself a traumatic incident for young patients which leads to functional, aesthetic, psychological problems and reduces patient's quality of life. Various materials are available to restore these types of traumatic injuries, but till date there is no material that has been proved to be as effective as natural structure considering mechanical and biological properties. This case report represents the management of traumatized fractured mandibular anterior teeth with biological posts and coronal restorations with composite.
