Root Fracture of an Immature Permanent Tooth with Open Apex: A Case Report

Izzet Yavuz, C. Turksel Dulgergil, Zelal Baskan, Sadullah Kaya and Ozkan Adiguzel
Of the teeth facing with root fractures seen in early permanent dentition, maxillary central incisors are the most common and middle third of the root is the most-affected-part. Although in most of the healed-cases, there was partial or complete obliteration of the pulp space; with proper therapy vitality could be kept in the apical part of the root and a successful-apical closure could be achieved in young permanent teeth having open-apex. A case report of the treatment of a young permanent maxillary-incisor having an open apex with root fractures is presented. The fracture line was treated with Calcium Hydroxide (CaOH) root endodontically filled till fracture line, during first 8 months. Clinically, the teeth became firm and the radiographic results after 4 years showed healing and hard tissue filling in the space at the fracture line and a successful apical closure. As a result, adequate observation period, vitality and/or radiographic control, complains of pain or discomfort of the tooth are the major factors which is guide for the performing successful endodontic therapy along the all root-length.
