Abstract:
It is important for the clinician not only to gather as much information about a case as possible, but also to be able to correctly interpret the data to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. Occasionally, a case presents with symptoms that might be suggestive of a condition; however, the final diagnosis may be totally different. This paper reports on an interesting case of a true vertical root fracture, in an intact maxillary molar in a 55-year-old man. The case was misdiagnosed and treated as a periodontal defect for over two months. The paper discusses the various causes and diagnostic dilemmas of root fractures.

However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
