Use of biodentine as an alternative treatment in horizontal radicular fractures: Clinical case report

Abstract:

Nowadays, horizontal type root fractures, considered with a poor prognosis, have treatment options, such as the use of bioceramic cement since it contains an adequate capacity to regenerate dental tissues, in turn, allowing the affected tooth to remain in the mouth. The objective of this research is to theoretically support the efficacy of biodentine cement in horizontal root fractures by reviewing a clinical case and scientific articles that support the treatment to preserve the dental organ in the oral cavity and avoid radical treatments such as tooth extraction. A bibliographic review of books and scientific articles related to horizontal fractures was carried out. The research is contributed by a review of a clinical case and surveys that allow supporting the therapy carried out resulting in the reduction of the fracture line thanks to splinting and the conservative process, from the moment the biodentine cement was placed. In addition to this, the therapy chosen by the respondents was extraction, concluding that biodentine is a material that avoids extractions since it has high compatibility with the dental structure, although its benefits are not widely known.
