Treatment of horizontal root fracture: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radicular fractures in permanent teeth are uncommon injuries among dental traumas, being only 0.5-7% of the cases. Traumatic dental injuries occur more frequently in young patients, and vary in severity from enamel fractures to avulsions.The magnitude of these problems is confirmed by statistical data on the prevalence of dental trauma during childhood and adolescence.Fracture occurs often in the middle-third of the root and rarely at the apical-third. The present paper reports a clinical case of a horizontal radicular fracture located between the middle- and apical-third of a upper left-central incisors followed-up over 4 years.

متن کاملDelayed Repositioning in Teeth with Horizontal Root Fracture: Two Case Reports
Introduction: Horizontal root fracture (HRF) generally has a good prognosis of healing at fracture line after repositioning and flexible splinting. However, various factors such as delayed referral may unfavorably influence close reduction of firmly displaced coronal fragments and the long-term prognosis of healing at fracture line. Case 1: A 25-year-old woman with HRF in her maxillary central ...
متن کاملConservative Treatment of A Horizontal Root Fracture in A Maxillary Central Incisor with the Help of Intraradicular Splinting – A Case Report
Root fractures due to traumatic injuries can be a very challenging situation for a clinician especially when it is encountered in the cervical third. Treatment alternatives for cervical root fractures are limited and mostly involves removal of the coronal fragment.

متن کاملHealing after horizontal root fractures: 3 cases with 2-year follow-up
Among dental traumas, horizontal root fractures are relatively uncommon injuries. Proper initial management and periodical evaluation is essential for the successful treatment of a root-fractured tooth. If pulpal necrosis develops, endodontic treatment is indicated, exclusively for the coronal fragment. Fragment diastases exert a great influence on healing at the fracture line and on pulpal nec...
متن کاملHorizontal Root Fracture Accompanied by Luxation of Coronal Fragment in a Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report
Root fracture injuries affect up to 7% of permanent teeth. This type of injury is rarely seen in teeth with open apices and depending on the fracture site, the prognosis is good. This case report describes a horizontal intra-alveolar root fracture in the middle third of a maxillary central incisor associated with an extrusive luxation of the coronal segment and its treatment in a 6-year-old gir...
