Summary
Cervical horizontal root fractures (CHRFs) are challenging but treatable. A multidisciplinary approach, including endodontic and prosthetic treatment with fiber posts, can preserve teeth and improve outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Cervical horizontal root fractures (CHRFs) pose significant clinical challenges due to their location near the alveolar crest.
- These fractures compromise tooth stability and complicate treatment planning.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. 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...

01:31Bone Remodeling and Repair
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during bone...
