AbstractRoot fracture is one of the detrimental fracture which results after impingement of high force upon the root. This has detrimental consequences for the tooth and its supporting structure. Horizontal root fractures are the most common type and occur mainly in the maxillary incisors. Prognosis of coronal third root fracture is less favourable because of the difficulty in immobilizing the tooth. For a successful outcome, an appropriate diagnosis of a fractured tooth in its most primitive possible stage encourages more conservative management options as well as an improved prognosis. This case report illustrates a novel treatment option for management of communited horizontal cervical root fracture in left maxillary central incisor. In contemporary modern era, the introduction and readiness of biocompatible materials like biodentine and proper understanding of the biological concepts of root fractures help in better prognosis of root fracture. Biodentine appears to be an improvement over other materials for some endodontic procedures that involve root repair and bone healing.
