title: Treatment of horizontal root fractures using a triple antibiotic paste and mineral trioxide aggregate: a case report.
abstract: This case report describes the treatment of a horizontal root fracture in a maxillary central incisor (tooth #8) using a triple antibiotic paste and mineral trioxide aggregate. A nonsurgical endodontic treatment was performed to a coronal root canal fragment of tooth #8. During the treatment procedure, 1% sodium hypochlorite solution was used for irrigation and a triple antibiotic paste was used as an intracanal medicament. The coronal part of the canal was obturated with mineral trioxide aggregate totally. At follow-up examination after 12 months, the tooth was asymptomatic and radiographically showed repair of the fracture region. Healing was achieved without any need for further interventions.
