Abstract Tooth fragments obtained either from the patient or from a tooth bank may be used as a safe and reliable alternative to restore dental anatomy and function with xcellent biomechanical properties. The use of bonded tooth fragments as biological restorations constitutes a viable restorative alternative for teeth with cervical lesions. This case-report presents a newer approach in restoring class V cervical lesions. The technique consists of enamel-dentinal transplantation to deep cervical defects with the help of adhesive restorative materials. The transplanted tooth fragment retains its own characteristics and when given in the recipient tooth after proper colour and texture matching, will give the tooth sense of originality and esthetic rehabilitation.
