Not a pretty site. You can see how well the crown fit the existing tooth, but a large portion of the root surface (the tooth UNDER the gum) simply broke off. There are only two options here: Gum surgery to lengthen and expose the fractured area (which we discussed here), or removal of the tooth and placement of a dental implant.
