Surgical Management of a Non-healing Intra-alveolar Root Fracture Associated with Pulpal Calcification and Root Resorption: A Case Report.
Radicular fractures are very challenging to address due to various complications like periodontal communication, increased mobility, and continued pulpal infection leading to necrosis and its long term sequelae like root resorption and pulp canal obliteration. This paper present a case of a long standing horizontal mid root fracture with root resorption and pulp canal obliteration, which was preserved functionally and aesthetically by surgical approach using MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate) and PRF (platelet rich fibrin).
