SummaryBackground/Aim: The management of horizontal root fracture is not straight forward. It depends upon the location of the fracture, mobility and vitality of fractured tooth segment. The goal of treatment is to restore the shape and function of affected tooth.Case report: This following case report described the conservative management of horizontal root fracture which was also displaced but somehow maintained its vitality. The affected tooth was initially stabilized and followed up in the subsequent appointments for evaluation of vitality that turned out to be vital, thus, preventing any unnecessary intervention.Conclusions: Horizontal root fractures in the vital teeth should be initially managed conservatively and every effort should be made to preserve the vitality of tooth.

AbstractRadicular fractures in permanent teeth are uncommon injuries among dental traumas, being only 0.5 - 7% of the cases. Horizontal root fractures can be managed endodontically or combined endodontic and surgical approach. Treatment varies according to the displacement and vitality of the fragments. This paper presents a case report of two cases of horizontal root fracture, present between the middle and apical third of central incisors, which were managed by combined endodontic and surgical approach, while in second case it was followed by PRF placement to facilitate osteoinduction and periodontal tissue regeneration.

Horizontal Root Fracture

BACKGROUND: Root fractures are uncommon injuries in permanent teeth and account for only 0.5–7% of dental trauma. It occurs more frequently in fully erupted permanent teeth, in which the completely formed root with closed apices is solidly supported in the bone and periodontium. This may lead to complex consequences due to the combined damage to the pulp, dentine, cementum, bone, and periodontium. They are transverse to oblique in direction and result from a horizontal impact. Their incidence is more in the middle third of the root than at the cervical and apical thirds. CASE REPORT: This paper describes a case of complicated horizontal root fracture at the middle third of the maxillary right central incisor. After receiving an endodontic treatment, the fractured root fragments of the maxillary right central incisors were united with the help of a glass fibre post. Eventually, the incisor was restored with a zirconia crown. CONCLUSION: Follow-up after a year revealed a well-stabilized assembly of the root fragments and the post.

Horizontal Root Fracture

Root fractures can involve the dentin, cementum, and pulp and commonly can occur as oblique fractures with varying orientations. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the maintenance of pulp health in a tooth with a fractured root without any endodontic treatment and to discuss the advantage of cone-bean computed tomography (CBCT) compared with traditional radiographs in the diagnosis of oblique root fractures. Intra-oral radiography of tooth 11 revealed a horizontal root fracture at the level of the apical third, while the sagittal CBCT slice reveals a complete fracture line running obliquely from the apical third on the buccal aspect through the cervical third on the palatal aspect.  Four years follow-up, the tooth has kept its pulp vitality, no tooth discoloration or discrepancy in arch position, without endodontic treatment. This result illustrates spontaneous healing of root fracture including preservation of pulp health. In addition, it confirms the importance of exams in 3 dimensions to correctly locate the fracture and assist in the treatment decision.
