For a horizontal root fracture, which orientation is better, oblique or transverse?

oblique
transverse
apical
coronal

The correct answer is: oblique

An oblique orientation is better for a horizontal root fracture because it allows for a more stable and supportive placement of a splint or cast. A transverse orientation can result in a weaker bond between the fractured segments and increase the risk of non-union or re-fracture. Both apical and coronal orientations are not appropriate for a horizontal root fracture as they do not provide proper support or alignment for the fractured segment.
