The fractured fragment of 21 was incompletely separated and mobile [Figure 1a]. An additional internal dentinal groove was also prepared within the dentin of the fractured fragment, which would approximate the access cavity prepared for endodontic therapy of the remaining tooth structure [Figure 1c]. The post was then luted with dual-cure resin cement (Multilink, Ivoclar, Vivadent) with 2 mm of its coronal portion extending into the chamber [Figure 1b]. It was followed by direct composite restoration of 11 [Figure 1d and e].
