ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The success rate of conservative endodontic management for root fracture varies greatly based on different methods used. It has been rarely reported that calcium silicate-based materials are applied in root fracture treatment.
CASE SUMMARY: A 38-year-old male patient presented with spontaneous pain from the upper left anterior teeth for 1 wk. The spontaneous pain was subsequently relieved, but pain on mastication persisted for 3 d. The patient had a dental trauma from a boxing match 15 years ago. Cone beam computed tomography showed that the maxillary left central incisor had oblique fracture lines and a radiolucent lesion around the fracture line. The tooth was diagnosed with an oblique root fracture with no healing and symptomatic apical periodontitis. In the following conservative endodontic management, the coronal and apical fr agments of the canal both were chemo-mechanically prepared and obturated using a single cone gutta-percha with iRoot SP (Innovative BioCreamix Inc, Vancouver, Canada), a new calcium silicate-based bioceramic root canal sealer. At follow-ups at 1, 6, 12, and 24 mo, the patient was asymptomatic and the radiolucency around the fracture line was healing radiographically.
CONCLUSION: Conservative root canal treatment is an alternative treatment in some cases of oblique root fracture with no healing. The application of bioceramic sealers and single core obturation techniques may also be essential to obtain an excellent outcome.
