7.5- to 11.5-Year Follow-up of the Fracture Removal Treatment for Propagated Crown Fractures

A definitive method to predictably treat propagated longitudinal fractures remains elusive. A proof-of-concept case report series documenting nonsurgical removal of propagated longitudinal fractures has shown up to 5 years of clinical and radiographic success. This installment of the case report series further documents these teeth with 7.5-year to 11.5-year recall evaluations. Three previously reported cases of fracture removal were followed at 11.5  years (1 case), 9.75 years (1 case), and 7.5 years (1 case) after treatment to determine the long-term clinical and radiographic success of nonsurgical fracture removal.
