title: Delayed treatment of a mid-root fracture.
abstract: A case of delayed treatment of a mid root fracture is presented. A radiolucent lesion at the fracture line was treated with calcium hydroxide in the coronal fragment for nine months. Clinically, the tooth became firm and the radiographic results showed healing of the lateral lesion and hard tissue filling in the space at the fracture line.
