In this respect, the endodontic stabilizer is used to guarantee a satisfactory bilateral anchorage that gives the possibility to unify, in a single visit, the necessary operation times for a successful treatment.<br /> </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>Objective:</strong> To describe the feasibility of the use of an endodontic stabilizer in the management of a complicated fracture of the medium third of the root in a single visit.<br /> </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>Case presentation:</strong> Female 60-year-old patient who comes to the consulting room after suffering from a consistent dentoalveolar trauma with a complicated fracture of the medium third of the root in tooth no.21; radiograph reveals a slight periodontal widening, and discontinuous edges. Radical endodontic treatment is performed with the placement of an intraductal stabilizer in the reduction of the fracture. <br /> </span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The use of an endodontic stabilizer in the management of a complicated fracture of the medium third of the root in a single visit to the dentist is a feasible alternative in the mediate and immediate treatment seeing that it supposes a fast recovery of the bucco-dental functions of the patient.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>Keywords:</strong> dental fracture, endodontics, intraductal posts, dental restoration, dental materials, traumatic lesion of the tooth.</span></p>
