AB  - Treatment of a tooth with vertical root fracture can be difficult and unpredictable. Quite often, the most predictable treatment possible is simply extraction. This study presents, a patient with an inflammatory gingival lesion on the labial aspect of the maxillary right central incisor due to vertical root fracture. This diagnosis confirmed during surgery. There was also a super contact on the mentioned tooth. Root canal therapy was done and super contact eliminated. After 5 weeks, the gingival gained normal appearance. A total of 12 months follow up showed that the results remained stable and the tooth treated remained asymptomatic. It is necessary to emphasize that it is not possible to extend the result of this treatment to all patients with vertical root fracture and at the present there is no predictable treatment for such teeth and extraction may be the only choice of treatment.
