title: Use of MTA and intracanal post reinforcement in a horizontally fractured tooth: a case report.
abstract: Root fracture is one of the consequences of dental traumatisms. The possibility of saving the fractured tooth depends on the level of the fracture and also on pulp vitality. This case report describes the use of MTA in association to an intracanal post to reinforce a maxillary central incisor with horizontal root fracture in its cervical third.
