case_images: After 15 minutes, MTA (Dentsply) was carefully placed over the blood clot followed by a wet cotton pellet and an intermediate restorative material was placed and sealed with the glass ionomer cement (Fig. 7).

case_images: The acrylic crown was delivered after 1 week (Fig. 11) and the patient was informed that acrylic crown would be replaced with the permanent crown if the tooth became symptomatic at a later stage, then would require endodontic intervention.
