Horizontal root fractures: a case report

Abstract: This case report describes the treatment of an upper right central incisor with an intra-alveolar horizontal root fracture at the level of the middle third and an upper left central incisor with the horizontal root fracture in the cervical third. The root fractures were reduced and rigidly splinted for 4 months. The endodontic therapy was instituted in the upper left central incisor because there was no possibility of fracture repair due to the proximity of the fracture and the gingival sulcus. As soon as the … Show more

“…Dental trauma was still the most commonly reported cause of HRF (but only accounts for 0.2-7% of all dental trauma; Birch 1986, Andreasen et al 1989, 2007, Ferrari et al 2006. Based on statistical data, the middle third of maxillary incisors usually with complete root formation in males during the second decade of life is the predominant affected tooth type (Hovland 1992, Majorana et al 2002, Westphalen et al 2008.…”

“…The early root canal treatment of 1.1 and the root canal treatment of 2.1 immediately after the removal of the fractured crown prevented the pulpal infection (18). The good functional short-term outcome of our multidisciplinary approach was present after 3 months (Fig.…”

“…In the literature, spontaneous healing of horizontal fractures has been reported (1,4,7,8), but no case has been reported where there was trauma at the time of eruption with a follow-up time of 48 months. described that the risk of the development of pulp necrosis increases when the limit is usually reached at 1 mm of diastasis, and mobility of the coronal fragment appears to have a negative influence on healing (8).…”

“…Management of root fractures is complex because prognostic considerations, such as the patient's age, stage of root growth, mobility of the coronal fragment, degree of displacement of fracture fragment and diastasis of the fragments, should be considered (6). Immediate treatment requires repositioning of the coronal fragment and splinting (7). The following case report aims to describe the prognosis of an immature maxillary incisor with horizontal root fracture traumatized at the time of eruption.…”
