Sažetak

This report deals with root fractures as part of traumatic injuries of teeth.
Root fractures are a type of dental trauma in which dentin, cement, and pulp are involved. They are very rare, which is confirmed by data which show that they appear in 0.5 - 0.7% in permanent and in 2 - 4% in primary dentition.
Most often they appear as a consequence of severe frontal blows during fights and injuries caused by different objects. They often appear in the population aged between 11 - 20 years with permanent dentition involved, mostly the upper jaw incisors.
In patients with unformed roots, fractures are very rare which can be expalined by alveolar alsticity.
Root fractures usually appear in combination with other types of dental injuries, such as alveolar crest fractures, especially in the region of the mandible incisors.
In this report the importance of diagnosis and difficulties in a making it, are underlined.
A special part of the report is concerned with pulp and periodontal role in root fracture healing. In this report healing process and types resorption, which precede the healing process are described.
Part of root fracture therapy shows recent attempts of different authors, who all have the same goal, and that is to keep the root fractured tooth in the oral cavity, for as long as possible.
