Introduction 

Dental traumas considered an increasing public health problem, unlike dental caries that have been declining over the last decades. The majority of dental injuries occur in the anterior region, affecting mainly the maxillary central incisors1 that can have significantly negative functional, esthetic and psychological impact. Prosthetic rehabilitation of traumatized anterior teeth would alter the entire appearance of the patient by providing them with a beautiful smile .

Oral trauma frequently occurs during the life of a young child and adolescent. Often, the consequences of this trauma are minor and may even go unnoticed .

The trauma may affect the hard tissue (alveolar bone, enamel, dentin, and cementum) and adjacent soft tissues.

The dental changes resulting from this clinical occurrence, in general, lead to a reduced quality of life of patients. This occurs because of the sensitivity and also because of the aesthetic conditions, reducing the quality of social life because of reduced self-esteem The aesthetic factor is even more critical considering the standards of beauty socially imposed, where minimal changes in shape, color and/or 

 positioning have become highly valued.

intraoral examination revealed has generalized calculus and that right central incisor was fracture in middle third of the crown

involving enamle and dentin without pulp exposure ,left central incisor was fracture in meso angle .

oral prophylaxisis was done (figure 3) and dental hygine maintenace instruction were given .

conclusion

In order to achieve and maintain efficient treatment outcomes, the case of a traumatically fractured single central incisor is very challenging for the practitioner. Esthetic and functional results must

be considered when determining the proper treatment plan.
