A clinical case of treatment of a tooth root fracture (4 years follow-up)

Abstract

This paper presents a clinical case of dental treatment in children with transverse fracture of incisor roots on the upper jaw. This clinical case demonstrates the successful long-term results of therapeutic treatment in which the pulp viability was preserved, which is confirmed by clinical and radiological examinations. If the diagnostic phase is properly performed and the teeth are immobilized in time, there is a high probability of a favorable long-term prognosis and outcome of the therapeutic treatment. Since the obliteration of the root canal system, after trauma in children, occurs mainly in teeth with unformed roots, is a sign of the preservation of a viable tooth pulp. The clinical and X-ray examination data obtained by us indicates a favorable prognosis of therapeutic treatment for transverse fracture of the roots of teeth in children.
