Abstract

As protective dentistry applications become more popular, frequency of tooth decays and periodontal problems in children decreased, but field and epidemiological studies show that tooth injuries caused by traumas is still a very serious problem in children. In classifying injuries caused by dental traumas, root fractures are seen less frequently compared to other injuries. Root fractures are classified according to the localisation and type of fracture line. Root fractures must be diagnosed by joint evaluation of radiographic and clinical findings. Root fractures can have good prognosis with early diagnosis and a suitable treatment. For this purpose the importance of being knowledgeable about the advantages and disadvantages of conic-beam computer tomography (CBCT) by dentists, as well as its usage areas in dentistry, is increasing on a daily basis.
