[Experimental horizontal fractures of front tooth roots and their endodontic endosseous pin fixation in monkeys]

Pathologically movable anteriors with horizontal root fracture can be fixed by endodontal bone pins, unless the fracture is located in the cervical third of the root canal. The apical root fragment needs to be removed for fixation. As the anatomic conditions in monkeys do not permit adequate preparation of the root canal required for endodontal pin fixation, the histological findings can be transferred to man to a limited extent only.
