Calcium hydroxide was successfully used as a temporary intracanal filling material in the treatment of 2 teeth with horizontal root fractures. Radiographic examination indicated that two different types of repair had occurred. The first was healing with calcified tissue and the second was healing with hone and connective tissue. The patient was seen at a 1‐year post‐treatment follow‐up and there was substantial evidence of repair around both roots.
