Abstract
Complicated crown-root fractures of primary teeth often present with a greater challenge to the pediatric dentist. Extraction of the
involved tooth is the routine treatment indicated. But, early loss of this primary tooth may lead to esthetic and psychological
problems and also causes a detrimental effect on the development of occlusion and the alveolar bone. The present case report
described the management of crown-root fracture in a primary canine by surgical extrusion and showed a satisfactory prognosis
at one-year follow-up.
