Radicular fractures in permanent teeth are uncommon injuries that involve cementum, dentin and pulp and account for only 0.5–7% of dental traumas. These fractures commonly result from a horizontal impact and are transverse to oblique in direction. Their incidence is more in the middle third of the root than at the apical and cervical thirds. This paper describes a case of horizontal root fracture at the middle third of maxillary left central incisor. The fractured root fragments of the upper left central incisor were united with the help of a glass fiber post after receiving an endodontic treatment.
