Root Fracture inthePrimary Dentition
BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1
Trauma Prevention
• While many parents may believe that their children are taking preventive measures to avoid injury, such as bicycle helmets, the truth is that reports by children often reveal that when unsupervised, injury prevention measures are often not followed (Ehrlich etal. 2001)
• Studies have revealed that mouth guards are an effective primary protective measure at reducing the rate of dentoalveolar injuries, yet in some instances only 1–5% of children participating in sports actually wear mouth guards during practices (Fakhruddin etal. 2007; Spinas and Savasta 2007)
• Falls are typically the most common type of injury, and while the anecdotal belief is that increased supervision will prevent injuries, reports in the literature cite that only about 20% of parents believe increased supervision will

A. Presenting Patient
• Four‐year‐, six‐month‐old Caucasian male (Figure4.2.1)
• New patient presenting as an emergency
prevent falls/injuries (Eberl etal. 2009)
• There is a reported peak in incidence of dental trauma during preschool years of as high as 35% (Hargreaves etal. 1999)
OrOfacial Trauma
B. Chief Complaint andHistory ofPresent Injury

• Diet is age appropriate
• Uses toothpaste containing fluoride twice daily
• Lives in optimally fluoridated area
• No prior history of orofacial trauma
• Child’s behavior is age appropriate, and he is curious about dental instruments
FUNDAMENTAL POINT 1
Health History after Oral Trauma
• Confirm that tetanus immunizations are up to date. If the last tetanus booster was five or more years prior and the wound is contaminated with soil/debris, another tetanus toxoid booster is indicated (American Academy of Pediatrics 2011)
• Rule out closed head injury and refer for medical consult if the patient is positive for any of the following (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2017):
Amnesia Nausea/vomiting Headache Lethargy/irritability/confusion Loss of consciousness
Occlusal Evaluation ofPrimary Dentition
No significant findings
Other
• Caries‐free dentition
FUNDAMENTAL POINT 2
Examination ofDental Trauma
• Take adequate radiographs to clearly image all involved teeth
• Rule out other injuries, e.g. soft tissue lacera­tions, alveolar fractures, etc.
• Vitality testing is of questionable value on primary teeth, and recognition of pulpal necrosis is typically based on clinical presentation (Pugliesi etal. 2004)
Diagnostic Tools
I.
• Periapical radiograph shows root fracture in the middle third of the maxillary right and left primary central incisors (Figure4.2.3)
• Vitality tests deferred
Extraoral Exam
G.
• Soft tissue injuries: mild contusions on upper lip
H. Intraoral Exam
Soft Tissues
• Mild plaque accumulation on buccal surfaces of maxillary molars
Hard Tissues
• Traumatized teeth: maxillary right and left primary central incisors–class I mobility (Figure4.2.2)
Figure 4.2.2 Intraoral photograph of maxillary right and left primary central incisors.

J. Diagnosis
Maxillary right and left primary central incisors: middle root fractures
K. Treatment
• No treatment is indicated at this time (see Flowchart B: Root Fractures at the end of this chapter)
• Discharge instructions: soft diet and avoid incising on injured segment until instructed otherwise. Watch for

clinical signs such as presence of parulis or fistula, mucosal inflammation or swelling, increased mobility, or color change. Pain medication as needed for discomfort
• Follow‐up treatment: follow‐up within four weeks to reassess healing and potential need for future treat­ments (McTigue and Thikkurissy 2018)
L. Prognosis andDiscussion
• Root fractures located on the apical third present a good prognosis. Teeth with root fractures in the middle segment should be observed closely as in the case presented. The more coronal the fracture is, the worse the prognosis. Cases in which there is signifi­cant mobility of the coronal segment and/or mobility of the coronal segment result in poor outcomes
BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2
Dental Root Fractures
• Root fractures traditionally heal by one of four means:
1. Calcified tissue (bony healing)
2. Interposition of connective tissue
3. Interposition of bone and connective tissue
4. Interposition of granulation tissue
• The most common forms of root fracture healing are calcified tissue and interposition of connective tissue (Cvek etal. 1995)
• Splinting primary teeth should be attempted only after careful risk : benefit analysis, including:
1. Patient cooperation
2. Ability to provide adequate isolation if a resin splint is used
3. Parental compliance with needed follow‐up care
• While some studies have shown success with primary tooth splinting, medico‐legal considera­tions must be discussed with caregivers
M. Complications andAlternative TreatmentPlan
If the fracture had been located in the coronal third, the recommendation would be to remove the coronal segment because the prognosis is poor. There is some controversy as to whether apical segments need to be removed. Direct visualization of the apical segment would facilitate extraction, while poor or no visualization could result in damage to permanent tooth bud
FUNDAMENTAL POINT 3
Complications ofDental Trauma
• Tooth discoloration is a common post‐traumatic complication
• Dark gray discoloration of primary incisors soon after injury may fade and does not warrant immediate treatment
• Discoloration noted soon after injury is not representative of denitive pulpal diagnosis (Holan 2004)
• Tooth discoloration that rst appears well after the trauma may be indicative of changes in pulp vitality and potential necrosis (Soxman etal. 1984)
• All teeth involved in injury must be re‐assessed for potential pulpal injury
Self‐Study Questions
1. What are the situations in which extraction of tooth and/or segments is warranted?
2. Would management differ if discoloration had occurred 26 months after injury?
3. When is splinting of primary teeth indicated?

Self‐Study Answers
1. As the fracture is placed more coronally, the prognosis worsens for the tooth. Furthermore, the aspiration risk must be assessed. Parents should be made aware of the possibility for the need to remove the coronal and/or entire segment at a later date if no treatment is immediately rendered
2. Per the International Association of DentalTraumatology (IADT) guidelines (www. iadt‐dentaltrauma.org), transient discoloration immediately following injury is not uncommon. This discoloration is most often reddish or grayish. Discoloration that occurs well after the traumatic

J. Diagnosis
Maxillary right permanent central incisor: complicated crown fracture with subluxation
FUNDAMENTAL POINT 2
Examination forCrown Fracture Injuries
• Take adequate radiographs that clearly show all involved teeth, including periapices
• Note apical development because it impacts treatment selected (see Flowchart C: Crown Fracture Injuries at end of this chapter) and prognosis. Pulp survival is more likely in luxated teeth with immature apices. Pulp canal obliteration is the most common sequela to luxation injuries to immature permanent teeth
• Rule out other injuries, e.g. root fractures, alveolar fractures
• Vitality tests frequently yield false‐negative results for up to three months following an injury (Flores etal. 2007)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1
Treatment forCrown Fractures
• Optimal care indicates treatment as soon as possible after the injury. Patient behavior, lack of availability of facilities and materials, or management of more serious injuries may delay treatment. Successful outcomes have been reported when treatment of complicated crown fractures is delayed up to several days, so the clinician may elect to defer treatment until the following morning, if necessary, to assure optimal treatment
• The treatment objective is to complete a debridement of inflamed or infected pulp tissue while maintaining healthy pulp tissue. This is particularly important in immature teeth in order for complete root maturation (apexog­enesis) to occur

K. Comprehensive Treatment
• See Flowchart C: Crown Fracture Injuries at the end of this chapter
• Maxillary right permanent incisor: partial pulpotomy (Cvek technique, see Fundamental Point 3 and Chapter 3: Complex Pulp Therapy)
Isolate tooth with rubber dam Gently remove 1.5–2 mm of pulp tissue with sterile bur and copious irrigation with, ideally, sterile water (Figure4.3.4) Use wet cotton pellet to control hemorrhage Cover pulp with calcium hydroxide, followed by glass ionomer Assure an excellent seal with composite resin provisional restoration (Figure4.3.5). Final restora­tion may be completed at the same appointment if it can be done atraumatically. However, final restora­tion should be deferred if tooth is mobile Prescribe over‐the‐counter acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain, as needed
Figure 4.3.4 Partial pulpotomy technique.
Follow‐Up Treatment
Two‐week postoperative visit:
Clinical exam: assess vitality with cold and electric pulp tests; assess color, mobility, and pain to percussion Complete final restoration of tooth if not done at first appointment
• Six‐week postoperative visit: Clinical exam: repeat assessment above Radiographic exam: assess for signs of pulp necro­sis, periapical radiolucency, or inflammatory resorp­tion, and for continuing root development
• Repeat same postoperative assessments at six
months and one year
L. Prognosis andDiscussion
Prognosis depends on maintaining vitality of the
pulp in the maxillary right permanent central incisor. The goal is to achieve full root maturation by removing inflamed pulp tissue while retaining healthy pulp in the root canal and crown. While a direct pulp cap may be simpler and quicker to perform than a partial pulpotomy, the consequences of failure (pulp necrosis) are dire in a tooth with an immature apex. Lacking a vital pulp makes the chances of the tooth achieving complete root maturation markedly decreased. Afalse‐negative response to vitality tests is possible for up to three months. Continuing root development in immature teeth is a sign of a positive treatment outcome (Flores etal. 2007)
Figure 4.3.5 Composite resin provisional restoration.
Discharge Instructions
• Avoid incising on injured tooth until tenderness resolves
• Instruct parents to watch for clinical signs including tooth discoloration and presence of parulis or fistula
• Instruct parents and child to report increased pain or mobility
• Improve diet and oral home care and, identify dental home
M. Common Complications andAlternative Treatment Plans
• An excellent seal is required to prevent bacterial contamination of the pulp tissue by saliva. Fracture lines extending subgingivally and lack of tissue fluid control can complicate placement of a secure, sealed restoration. Pulp necrosis will inevitably occur if the restoration is not completely sealed. Close follow‐up is critical because inflammatory resorption can rapidly destroy the thin root if the pulp becomes necrotic
• In cases of an immature permanent incisor with a necrotic pulp, a partial pulpotomy is not indicated because it is a vital technique. In immature teeth, revascularization can be attempted by first disinfecting the root canal space with antibiotic paste and then stimulating bleeding to form a scaffold for the ingrowth of healthy connective tissue. If successful, this technique enables the root to mature

physiologically (apexogenesis). Another option is to induce apexification, which is the placement of a mechanical barrier at the root apex against which root canal filling materials are placed. The use of mineral
FUNDAMENTAL POINT 3
Partial Pulpotomy
• Only a superficial layer of inflamed pulp tissue is removed, leaving healthy pulp tissue in the coronal chamber and root canal space
• Copious irrigation and a sharp, sterile bur are used to minimize injury to the remaining pulp
trioxide aggregate (MTA) enables the clinician to perform this apexification procedure in one step (see Chapter 3: Complex Pulp Therapy for more information on managing complicated crown fractures)
• The access preparation is deep enough (1.5–2 mm) to contain the wound dressing (CaOH or MTA) and glass ionomer seal

Self‐Study Answers
1. Optimal healing occurs if the partial pulpotomy is performed soon after the injury. However, positive outcomes have been reported when this treatment was delayed days to weeks after the injury. Best practice is to complete the procedure as soon as adequate assistance and facilities are available. This may mean deferring treatment until the following day
2. To succeed, a partial pulpotomy must be per­formed as aseptically as possible. Primary causes of failure include inadequate isolation and lack of an absolute seal by the temporary restoration
3. It may be possible to complete the final restoration on a tooth treated with a partial pulpotomy; however, since luxation injuries
