Özet

Intra-alveolar root fractures of incisor teeth are more frequent than other dental injuries. These case reports describe two untreated horizontal root fractures of the maxillary right central incisors. Patients reported accidental trauma, which occurred several years ago. These fractures were discovered during a routine full-mouth radiographic survey. Teeth were asymptomatic and tested vital to electric pulp tests.
