title: Conservative treatment of a cervical horizontal root fracture and a complicated crown fracture: a case report.
abstract: Abstract This case report describes successful long-term conservative management of a cervical root fracture and a complicated crown fracture of the maxillary central incisors in a 12-year-old patient. A mineral trioxide aggregate partial pulpotomy was performed on the maxillary right central incisor, while the maxillary left central incisor was splinted to the neighbouring lateral incisor using an acid-etch technique. Both teeth remained asymptomatic throughout the 3.5 years of a review period, with the cervical root fracture having mostly healed with the formation of a calcified tissue between the fragments. Two different treatment methods were used for two different injuries that resulted in pulp preservation in both cases. This in turn has provided for normal root development to occur while also allowing for preservation of bone.
