 Maxillary  central  incisor  is  most  commonly  affected  tooth  during  trauma  followed  by maxillary  lateral  incisor  and  mandibular  incisors.  Trauma  to  the  anterior  tooth  requires  urgent  care because  of  essentiality  of  preserving  natural  tooth. When complicated crown fracture occurs it necessitates endodontic treatment and restoration of fractured crown segment with post in the canal. Fabricating  a  restoration  which  can  serve clinically  long  term  without  any  sign  of  complication and  fulfill  the  functional  and  esthetic  requirement  is very  hard  to  achieve  in  excessively  damaged  tooth especially when it is in the esthetic zone. The Richmond crown can be a good treatment alternative for restoration of such teeth. The Richmond crown was introduced in 1878 and incorporated a threaded tube in the canal with a screw retained crown.  It was later modified to eliminate the threaded tube and was redesigned as a one piece dowel and crown.This case report shows restoration of badly mutilated anterior central incisors teeth with Richmond crown which can fulfill the esthetic and functional demands of the patient.
