| Summary: | Intra-alveolar root fractures in permanent teeth are
rare following dental traumatic injuries. The diagnosis of root fractures
depends on careful clinical and radiographic examination. The successful
treatment of a root-fractured tooth involves repositioning and fixation.
Although the outcome of a root fracture is generally favourable, complications
such as pulpal necrosis, radicular resorption and pulpal canal obliteration can
arise. A radicular cyst is an inflammatory cyst that develops as a result of
untreated dental caries, with pulp necrosis and periapical infection following
chemical, physical or bacterial injury. In this case report, the diagnosis and
treatment of a rare case of a radicular cyst, which occurred as a result of
pulp necrosis following horizontal root fracture, and an apical root fragment,
which was displaced by the cystic lesion to the base of the nasal cavity, are presented. |
