A method of treating an apical root fracture with accompanying resorption at the junction of the fracture fragments using glass‐cermet cement is described. Endodontically. the material had previously been used for repair of lateral resorptive root defects and retrograde root fillings. Complete bone regeneration was observed three years post‐operatively following treatment of the root fracture in the conventional manner. The various advantages of glass‐cermet cement as a root filling material used in the technique described are discussed.
