Abstract
AbSTRACTDental fractures of the permanent maxillary anterior teeth are relatively frequent accidents during childhood. The Efficient diagnosis and treatment of dental injury are important elements in clinical dentistry. This article describes a case of trauma in permanent right central maxillary incisors with tooth fragments embedded in the lower lip. Thorough clinical examination followed by soft tissue radiographs confirmed the presence of a fractured incisal fragment, which was surgically retrieved under local anesthesia. Direct composite restoration was placed. After finishing and polishing, an esthetic and natural-looking restoration was achieved; this completely satisfied the functional and esthetic expectation of the patient and dental team.How to cite this article: Avinash A, Dubey A, Singh RK, Prasad S.

Highlights
A number of techniques have been developed to restore the fractured crown
If the lost fragment is not recovered or it is inadequate for repositioning, it would be advisable to use composite reconstruction
Composite restorations tend to degrade with time, losing their esthetic properties, they are, more resistant long term.[10]. This case report describes a child with traumatic amputation of anterior crown with incisal fragment being embedded in the lower lip
Summary
A number of techniques have been developed to restore the fractured crown. Several factors must be taken into consideration when choosing a treatment for this kind of fracture in a child. Composite restorations tend to degrade with time, losing their esthetic properties, they are, more resistant long term.[10] This case report describes a child with traumatic amputation of anterior crown with incisal fragment being embedded in the lower lip. Trauma to teeth is a common situation in a pediatric patient, it may damage the dentition and affect the patient psychologically.[1] Dental traumatic injuries are a frequent occurrence during childhood, affecting about 13% of the population under 12 years old Of these fractures, 70% are superior incisor coronal fractures without compromising the root.[2,3,4,5]. The colors chosen were A3 for the cervical third and A2 for the middle
