Patterns of vertical root fracture: factors affecting stress distribution in the root canal.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous studies have indicated that vertical root fracture tends to occur in a buccolingual direction, where dentin thickness is greatest. Factors potentially influencing the location and direction of root fracture include root canal shape, external root morphology, and dentin thickness. In this finite-element study, simulated root sections were varied systematically with respect to canal size and shape, external root morphology, and dentin thickness to determine their relative contribution to vertical root fracture. Similar models were constructed based on cross-sections of human tooth roots that had been fractured clinically or experimentally. Finite-element models demonstrated that canal curvature seems more important than external root morphology, in terms of stress concentration, and that reduced dentin thickness increases the magnitude but not the direction of maximum tensile stress. Models based on actual root fractures showed a strong similarity between tensile-stress distribution and fracture patterns.

Comparing Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Teeth Using Different Preparation-Obturation Combinations
Background:One of the main reasons for extraction of endodontically treated teeth is vertical root fracture (VRF). Some factors such as root canal treatment are involved in vertical root fracture because of their potential to weaken the tooth structure. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of combining different obturation materials and rotary systems on the fr...

Objective: Diagnosis of vertical root fractures (VRFs) is critical in endodontics which most of the times occurs in endodontically treated teeth with root canal fillings such as gutta percha. Despite Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has significantly enhanced image quality compared to digital radiography (DR) which aid the diagnosis, artifacts has remained as a problem in VRF detection . ...

متن کاملThe histopathogenesis of vertical root fractures.
Fractured roots were examined histologically, using different stains, to study the morphological fracture patterns and to identify potential irritants. Fractures were usually, but not always, complete and extended from a surface to include the root canal. The potential irritants identified in both the fracture space and communicating canal were bacteria, necrotic tissue, food debris, and uniden...
