Abstract
Radicular fractures in permanent teeth are uncommon injuries among dental traumas, being only 0.5-7% of the cases. Management of horizontal root fractures presents a formidable challenge for clinicians because of the difficulty of achieving a stable reunion of fracture fragments. This case report presents the management of horizontally fractured canine by approximation of fracture fragments, fiber splinting, and use of MTA - both as an obturating material and intra-radicular splint. Short-term follow-up of the case showed promising results both clinically and radiographically.
