Abstract: Traumatic dental injuries of permanent teeth frequently occur in the pediatric patient population, with crown fractures and luxations being the most prevalent. Given the teeth immaturity and ongoing facial growth and development, proper diagnosis and management are crucial. Even more, is the implication of esthetics to a female teenager. This case report details the dental management of a 14-year-old female who faced a complicated crown fracture on #9, involving enamel, dentin, and pulp exposure in an anterior tooth. Compounded by dental anxiety, the patient also presented with untreated severe caries on teeth #7, 8, 10. Treatment encompassed root canal therapy, cast post, and zirconia crown on #9 and prefabricated post and core and zirconia crowns on #7, 8, 10. The report chronicles the patient's journey from the initial emergency department encounter through subsequent visits, detailing diagnosis, management, and anticipatory guidance.
