Abstract
|
|
|
|
Root fractures involve dentin, cementum, and pulp. They are rare and comprise 0.5% to 7.0% of all trauma cases in permanent teeth. They can be broadly classified as horizontal and vertical root fractures, and horizontal root fractures are most common. Management of horizontal root fractures depends on several factors, and various clinical modalities have been suggested. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has several potential clinical applications due to its superior sealing properties and biocompatibility. This case report describes the treatment and follow-up of a maxillary central incisor with horizontal root fractures using MTA as a retrograde filling material.
