title: Treatment of vertical root fracture: a case report.
abstract: Vertical root fracture presents a diagnostic problem, and treatment is not usually successful. This case report demonstrates use of calcium hydroxide paste to induce healing of fractured roots. Glass-ionomer cement was used as a root canal sealer and then condensed into the root canals to bind the segments together.
