Traumatic dental injuries often occur to the upper anterior teeth and their supporting tissues; they are mostly the main reasons for an emergency visit to a dental clinic. Horizontal root fractures are typically identified by a fracture line that runs perpendicular to the root's long axis, which can be diagnosed by a combination of clinical assessment and radiographic examination. The prognosis of treatment is determined by various factors, including the fracture's location, the degree of root involvement, accurate diagnosis, and clinical care. In this case report, the management of a horizontal root fracture using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and a fiber post in the maxillary left central incisor is presented.
