Abstract (English):	Tooth extraction causes alveolar resorption that compromises aesthetics and prosthetic function. Root submersion, a partial extraction technique that preserves part of the root, maintains the alveolar contour and prevents vestibular collapse. Lithium disilicate is the glass-ceramic of choice in the anterior sector due to its high translucency, ability to mimic natural tooth color, and mechanical properties suitable for aesthetic single-tooth crowns. This clinical case describes a coronal fracture of the dental organ (DO) 41, treated with root submersion as a therapeutic alternative. The decision was based on the need to preserve the alveolar ridge and prevent the collapse associated with the extraction, thus guaranteeing a better functional and aesthetic prognosis for future rehabilitation with a fixed lithium disilicate prostheses.

Abstract (Spanish):	La extracción dentaria provoca reabsorción alveolar que compromete la estética y la función protésica. La sumersión radicular, técnica de extracción parcial que conserva parte de la raíz, preserva el contorno alveolar y evita el colapso vestibular. El disilicato de litio es una vitrocerámica de elección en el sector anterior por su elevada translucidez, capacidad de mimetización y comportamiento mecánico adecuado para coronas unitarias estéticas. En este caso clínico se describe una fractura coronaria del órgano dentario (OD) 41, tratado con sumersión radicular como alternativa terapéutica. La decisión se fundamentó en la necesidad de preservar el reborde alveolar y evitar el colapso asociado a la extracción, que garantice un mejor pronóstico funcional y estético para la futura rehabilitación con prótesis fija de disilicato de litio.
