Endodontic therapy of traumatized incisors with crown and transverse intra-alveolar root fractures.
A case involving traumatic injury to the maxillary anterior teeth with crown and transverse intra-alveolar root fractures is reported. The patient did not seek immediate treatment after trauma. Treatment included pulpectomy, fixation of a fractured root, root canal obturation, endodontic therapy of the coronal segment, and postoperative observation. Follow-up showed good results. Thus effective nonsurgical endodontic therapy of traumatized anterior teeth can result in a good prognosis in cases involving crown and intra-alveolar root fractures.
