[Periodontal surgical approach to the vertical fracture of the root. The application of composite resin to the fractured root surface].

For a patient who had a deep periodontal pocket without an attached gingiva on labial central area of left upper canine, a free gingival graft from the palate was done. After that, a flap was reflected and the cause of the lesion was determined. It became clear that there was a vertical fracture of the root and a composite resin (Clearfil-SC) was used to fill the fractured area. It has been 2 1/2 years since the therapy and the prognosis is good.
