Anterior tooth fractures are commonly seen types of dental injury. In the treatment of complicated crown fractures, two treatment options as extraction and root canal treatment could be considered due to the remaining tooth structure. Endodontic treatment is vital in order to maintain function and provides better aesthetics and reliefs the patient's pain. The aim of this case report is to present a 17-years-old female patient's treatment and five-years follow-up radiographs and photographs. Patient had the multiple traumatized (luxation and complicated crown fractures) maxillary incisor teeth with periapical lesions. After careful examination and multidisciplinary treatment, periapical lesions were healed, teeth and adjacent tissues were healthy and functional. Endodontic treatment must be considered by clinicans instead of extraction of tooth as a priority.
