Rehabilitation of badly broken endodontically treated teeth is a common problem in restorative dentistry. Tooth with less remaining crown height is indicated for post and core followed by crown to restore normal anatomy, function and aesthetics. Patients having reduced interocclusal clearance and are most difficult to manage. Richmond crown is a feasible approach for such cases that can be performed with less incisal clearance as it accommodates post, core and crown thickness. In this case report, diagnosis and treatment planning for a case with fracture of maxillary central incisor along with fabrication technique of Richmond crown has been discussed.
