Results: 50% or more cases of post-traumatic inflammatory complications were observed in case of contact failure of the teeth roots, that are in a gap of fracture, with the periodontium of these teeth al 1/2 or more of their length. Saving teeth in fracture gap, which have failure of contact with the surrounding periodontium 1/2 and 3/4 the length of the root causes high risk of inflammatory complications in bone and surrounding soft tissues.
