Dental crown fracture is the most common traumatic dental injury for permanent teeth. Tooth fragment reattachment is a restorative alternative which consists in adhering tooth fragments with a procedure suchlike the one used to join loose pieces by conventional adhesives. This article describes a clinical case of a patient with upper central incisors crowns fractured which were treated by tooth reattachment. Patient attended dental practice with the broken teeth and their fragments, and was immediately referred to receive root canal treatments and then the placement of fiberglass posts. Later, the fragments attachment was made after carrying a mucoperiosteal flap because of the biological space invation. There were acceptable functional and esthetic results at the immediate clinical assessment and after three years of monitoring.
