The cases of root fractures in odontology are extremely serious and require, besides of an accurate diagnosis, the immediate and correct assistance in order to get a good prognostic of the case. A male, 30 years old, went to the dentist office after a permanent right maxillary central incisor trauma. The tooth was examined and semiotechnique tests were done, periapical and exchange of contention. After seven days, it was made a canal preparation and medication with calcium hydroxide paste. After four months, it was arranged in the filling of the coronal portion and later proservation of the case for two years, and we noted the normal tissue and repair the fracture area. In cases of dental trauma involving root fracture, it is preciput that we make the same diagnosis and a rigid restraint as soon as possible to stabilize the fragment in the region. In this case reported, the short time that the tooth fragment was out of the socket placement of an intracanal medication and right immobilization were crucial factors for good prognosis.
