List of case studies that reported successful management of vertical root fractures
| Authors | Tooth number | Treatment given | Recall period and observation | Evaluation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ozturk M and Unal GC [3] | 11 | Reconstructed with a self-etching dual-cured adhesive resin cement and intentionally replanted in conjunction with a bio-absorbable barrier membrane. | 4 years | The tooth was asymptomatic, and attachment gain and bone regeneration were observed, no ankylosis was detected clinically or radiographically. |
| Moradi Majd N et al., [4] | 21 | Tooth was extracted, fracture line was shallow prepared and treated with adhesive resin cement, a retrograde cavity was produced and filled with calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, and tooth was replanted. | 12 months | The tooth was asymptomatic. The size of periapical radiolucency was noticeably reduced and there was no clinical sign of ankylosis |
| Unver S et al., [5] | 14 | Fracture was repaired with 4-META/MMA-TBB resin cement and intentional replantation was done | 3 years | Tooth was asymptomatic, radiographically sound, reduced periodontal pockets and vertical bone loss |
| Hadrossek PH and Dammaschke T [6] | 11 | Silicon key prior to intentional extraction, fracture line on extracted tooth prepared and filled with Biodentine followed by replantation using silicon key for correct reposition | 2 years | No pathological findings |
| Hayashi M et al., [7] | 20 teeth with vertical root fracture | Teeth were extracted intentionally and reconstructed with 4-META/MMA-TBB dentin-bonded resin and were replanted into the original sockets. | 4 months to 45 months | The replanted teeth were evaluated by clinical criteria and radiographic examination. The longevity was calculated as 83.3% at 12 months and 36.3% at 24 months. |
| Arikan F et al., [8] | 11 | Fracture was repaired with dual-cure resin cement and intentional replantation was done | 18 months | Clinically and radiographically successful healing |
| Dogan MC et al., [9] | 21 | Tooth was extracted and fragment reattached with dual cure resin cement, the pulp chamber was also filled with the cement followed by intentional replantation | 3 years | No evidence of periapical infection, no signs of root resorption and gingival pocket development |
