    A root’s fracture has a great influence on the endontic treatment. Depending on the location the maintenance of the tooth will be viable or not.

    Radicular fissures are more difficult to diagnose as the root is apparently intact. These can be located in the root’s third lower, medium or upper part.
    Unfortunately the treatment of a fissured tooth with symptoms (pain, fistula, abscess) often consists in an extraction.

    Even during extraction of a firm tooth,,if an elevator hasnt been used, the tooth may fracture at the above mentioned sites

    apicectomy is the procedure……and middle third fracture is the difficult to treat

    It is obviously not ok to leave anything behind..may lead to complications like abscess, cyst..try removing it with a probe or a no. 30 file..if that fails you have to remove it surgically..
