Orthodontic movement of a horizontally fractured tooth: a case report

– Intra‐alveolar root fractures are relatively uncommon, and sometimes may be healed without treatment. Diagnosis of intra‐alveolar root fracture is frequently made by exclusion of clinical signs of other traumatic injury, and by radiographic examination with films taken at different tube angulations. This case report presents a horizontal root fractured tooth that was healed satisfactory without treatment and moved orthodontically after prolonged time from trauma.
