Abstract

Abstract A case is presented with both vertical and horizontal root fractures. Roentgenographic diagnosis revealed only the horizontal component of the fracture. On completion of the forced eruption it was evident that the sound tooth structure was still subgingival. Periodontal probing showed a deep vertical component of the fracture which was not diagnosed on previous examination. This misdiagnosed case emphasizes the need for complete periodontal examination in a subgingivally fractured tooth.
