Abstract :The most important problem encountered after dental caries is undoubtedly injuries to primary and permanent teeth. Trauma affecting the oral cavity can affect the soft tissues of the lips, cheeks, tongue and floor of the mouth and the structures that form the temporomandibular joint. Luxation injuries are the most common traumatic tooth injury in primary dentition, while crown fractures are more frequently reported in permanent teeth. Traumas cause functional and aesthetic problems in the patient, and this aesthetics, making an ideal restoration to prevent loss of function is extremely important for the patient`s psychology. Composite restorations provide conservative solutions in young individuals compared to veneer or other prosthetic restorations. Although composite restorations of permanent incisors with crown fractures are not seen as complicated cases, attention should be paid to the tooth contours that will facilitate function and aesthetics. In this study, restoration of three clinical cases with crown fracture by direct composite resin applications is described.
