Root fractures are lesions involving dentine, cementum and pulp. The highest incidence range of roots fractures is recorded in patients 16-20 years. Horizontal root fractures mainly affect the maxillary anterior region. Due to relatively rare occurrence of root fractures, they may be difficult to make appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. The treatment success is determined by the location of fracture line. Additional the healing process depends on optimal fragments reposition an immobilization, regular clinical an radiological control, patients age, tooth mobility, degree of root formation, pulp condition, diastasis of fragments and time between trauma and treatment. The clinical study presents 18- month follow-up treatment of a 14 years old patient with horizontal root fracture located in 1/3 middle of root.
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.
