Traumatic dental injuries often occur to the teeth and their supporting tissues and they are the main reasons for an emergency visit to a dental clinic. Horizontal root fractures usually are characterized by a fracture line that is perpendicular to the long axis of the root. Root fractures are diagnosed through clinical and radiographic examination. Treatment depends on the position of the fracture, the extent of root involvement, correct diagnosis, clinical management, and radiographic follow-up. This article presents endodontic management of horizontal root fracture using a fibre post. A 28-year-old male patient presented with a horizontal fracture of the maxillary left central incisor at the junction of the apical and middle third of the root. Root canal treatment followed by MTA apexification of the coronal fragment and fibre post gave satisfactory results.
