Abstract :
Root fractures are more prevalent in teeth that have fully erupted and have closed apices, where the entire root is firmly anchored in the bone and surrounding tissues. The results can become complex because of the pulp, dentine, cementum, bone, and periodontium injury. The handling of horizontal root fractures encompasses numerous factors, resulting in the suggestion of different treatment methods. This report presents the steps and post-treatment period of two lower central incisors with root fractures at the apical third, which were treated using root canal therapy and mineral trioxide aggregate, respectively.
