The purpose of this paper is to present treatment results of transverse root fracture in an adult patient caused by long-term traumatic occlusion resulting from use of a wrongly fitted upper-frame denture. A 44-year-old male patient had a transverse displaced fracture at one-third of the crowneroot boundary area of tooth 42. The tooth was treated endodontically after prior positioning of fragments in 1 plane. The canal was filled, and a "Splint It" splint was applied for the period of 1 year.
