Abstract
Root fractures are defined as injuries involving dentine, cementum, and the pulp. They are rare, and they account for 0.5–7% of the dental injuries in the permanent teeth. Root fractures may be the result of direct trauma to the teeth or indirect trauma to the oral cavity. Their incidence is highest in the group of adolescent patients aged 11 to 20 years. The purpose of the paper is to review the literature supported by a case series with three different types of root fractures with various healing patterns, though all with successful long-term treatment outcomes. Case series: All presented patients were boys aged 10 to 11 years. Root fractures occurred as a result of direct impact with the teeth by an object. Only one boy had his root-fractured teeth endodontically treated. However, one of the teeth was misdiagnosed with pulp necrosis, and the other became non-vital after additional trauma. Conclusions: Root fractures in young patients have good healing potential. Appropriate and early diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for treating root-fractured teeth are necessary to achieve favorable healing and a good long-term prognosis. Regardless of the pattern of healing of fractured roots and the treatment provided, patients require long-term follow-up and the need to plan a management strategy in case complications occur. Failure of the healing of fractured root is a worst-case scenario, especially in patients of developmental age. In such cases, the primary goal of treatment is to preserve the alveolar ridge until growth is complete.
