Abstract
Incisors are common teeth to suff er dental trauma, with root fracture occurring in <3% of injuries. Horizontal root fractures occur mainly in
the middle third of root mostly aff ect upper central incisors. Nevertheless, apical and coronal 3rd fracture is also sometimes reported. Th e
fracture may go undiagnosed for many years until the patient reports with discolored, mobile tooth which on radiograph reveals a break in
continuity of the root. Th is paper reports the management of three horizontal root fractures (delayed and immediate) in upper incisors; two
treated with mineral trioxide aggregate and calamus (Dentsply) for warm vertical obturation and one with fi ber post.
