EndodonticsA permanent tooth with apical one-third root fracture would most likely remain vital and functional. Apical third fractures have favorable prognosis because: 1) Good blood supply is maintained to the coronal fragment through the periodontal ligament, 2) The fracture is away from the oral environment, reducing contamination risk, 3) Pulp often remains vital due to minimal disruption of apical blood supply, 4) Healing usually occurs with fibrous union between fragments, 5) Function is typically maintained. Root resorption and ankylosis are less common with apical third fractures compared to cervical fractures.
