Radicular fractures in immature permanent teeth are uncommon injuries among dental trauma comprising 0.5 – 7 % of the cases.\r\nFracture occurs most often in middle third of the root and rarely at the apical third.\r\nMineral Trioxide Aggregate was introduced to dentistry as a root end filling material. It has been advocated for filling root canals, repairing perforations, pulp capping and root end induction.\r\nThe present paper reports a clinical case of a horizontal radicular fracture located between the middle and apical third of upper central incisor treated with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate with a 6 years follow-up. \r\nThe use of MTA in the treatment of horizontal root fractures is not a routine application; however, MTA positively affected the healing of fractured teeth after 6 years so it may be concluded that it can be used clinically in the treatment of horizontal root fractures.\r\n
