Calcium hydroxide was successfully used as a temporary intracanal filling material in the treatment of 2 teeth with horizontal root fractures. Radiographic examination indicated that two different types of repair had occurred. The first was healing with calcified tissue and the second was healing with hone and connective tissue. The patient was seen at a 1‐year post‐treatment follow‐up and there was substantial evidence of repair around both roots.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
