  • Title: Clinical management and subsequent healing of teeth with horizontal root fractures.
    Author: Versiani MA, de Sousa CJ, Cruz-Filho AM, Perez DE, Sousa-Neto MD.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2008 Feb; 24(1):136-9. PubMed ID: 18173686.
    Abstract:
    Horizontal root fractures are uncommon, mainly occurring on the cervical and middle third of the root of permanent upper incisors. The diagnosis is essentially radiographic and requires different healing patterns, depending on some pre- and postinjury factors. The aim of this article was to report the clinical management and different healing types in three cases of horizontal root fractures on permanent dentition. In case 1, the pulp tissue was vital and no treatment was necessary. In case 2, a root canal treatment of the cervical fragment was necessary and in case 3, pulpal necrosis was verified and an apical surgery was performed.
