Premature loss of primary teeth could be treated with different options. In this case report, a 4-year-old girl was referred to our pediatric dentistry clinic for the treatment of dental trauma and pain. In clinical and radiographical evaluation, mobility in both primary maxillary central incisors, inflamed marginal gingival tissues, swelling of upper lip and a root fracture were detected. Both primary maxillary central incisors were extracted and anterior edentulous space was provisionally restored using extracted primary teeth crowns in a fixed appliance. Parents and patients’ satisfaction levels were evaluated before and after treatment. The fixed appliance was still healthy after a follow-up examination period of 12 months. Parents and patients’ satisfaction levels were approximately very satisfied. This case report presents an alternative treatment option - functional, esthetic and satisfactory for parents and patient- for the treatment of the premature loss of traumatized primary maxillary central incisors
