Management of traumatized permanent incisor teeth with horizontal root fractures

F W Benenati et al. J Okla Dent Assoc. 1994 Fall.

Abstract

Proper management of permanent incisors with horizontal root fractures includes careful diagnosis, continued re-evaluation and a conservative treatment approach. The location of the root fracture and pulpal vitality status both play important roles in proper treatment decisions. A thorough examination, judicious treatment and follow-up on the part of both dentist and patient can result in long term retention of many of these traumatized teeth.
