· orthodontic uplifting may be done
2. Treatment of tooth fracture at or below cervical level
· Retain coronal part using luting cement and post
· Extrude the tooth orthodontically in order to bring the apical fragment to the level where it can be used to hold a permanent coronal restoration
· Surgical correction of gingival margin
