Conservative Approach and Management of Cervical Root Fracture, Case Report by Alaa Eddin Omar Al Ostwani in Journal of Clinical Case Reports MedicaI Images and Health Sciences Abstract Root fracture is a rare dental trauma characterized by separation of the cementum, dentin, and pulp tissues and endangering the tooth survival as well. The impact, depending on its severity and direction, could break through a horizontal, vertical, or oblique plane within the dental root. However, the apical and coronal fragments can be reunited through the deposition of connective tissue, calcified bridge, or a combination between them, whereas failure is considered a result of invading the fracture site by granulation infected tissue. Research showed that the more the horizontal breakage site is locating cervically the less the healing chance will be obtained. Furthermore, sacrificing the coronal fragment could be the inevitable result in case the fracture line is over the alveolar crest...
