Introduction: Vertical root fractures (VRFs) in endodontic treatment teeth are most serious complication. VRFs have a poor prognosis and usually result in tooth extraction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) filled teeth for VRFs using by dental operate microscope (DOM). Methods: Fifty-two endodontic treatment teeth with VRFs were...

Abstract Vertical root fractures are more commonly encountered following endodontic treatment and in teeth without treatment, with habits like bruxism eating coarse, hard food. The most predisposed to fracture the premolars of maxilla mandible, mesial roots mesiobuccal mandibular molars, maxillary molars incisors. Timely identification cracked is key since it permits a conservative preventive a...

BACKGROUND As per many studies endodontically treated teeth are widely considered to be more susceptible to fracture than vital teeth. Obturation strains and post placement have been a major cause of vertical root fracture. Present study was conducted to compare in vitro fracture resistance after filling with either Gutta-percha or Resilon by lateral condensation techniques in root canals. This...

It is well known that the primary function of a tooth is mastication. However, tooth fracture remains a major complication in endodontically-treated teeth. When the normal structure of a tooth is compromised by traumatic injuries, endodontic treatment remains the most viable option to maintain the tooth. However, endodontically treated teeth (ETT) exhibit greater brittleness and are more prone ...

INTRODUCTION This study sought to assess the effects of amperage (mA) and field of view (FOV) on intracanal metal post artifacts and the diagnostic parameters for detection of vertical root fracture (VRF) in teeth with intracanal posts. METHODS AND MATERIALS In this diagnostic study, 80 human single-canal teeth were evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Nickel chrome cast posts w...

A definitive diagnosis of vertical root fracture (VRF) is often a challenging task for clinicians. This is because two dimensional periapical radiographs are usually unable to detect the fracture line due to the direction of the X-ray beam. This report presents a set of 3 cases of endodontically treated teeth that were diagnosed with VRFs based on findings from clinical, radiographic, and cone-...

Single visit reconstruction of the fractured crown can be completed with composite resins if there is no bleeding due to the soft tissue injury. Clinical inspection revealed a complex crown fracture of the central incisor as well as a simple horizontal fracture of the lateral incisor crown of the enamel-dentin type. Vertical fracture separated the palatal enamel wall from the rest of the latera...

The authors described a lumbar spine fracture that is characterized on anteroposterior x-ray views by separation of the pedicular shadows. It is almost invariably associated with posterior interlaminar herniation of the cauda equina through a dorsal dural split, and anterolateral entrapment or amputation of the nerve root. The fracture is unstable and requires internal fixation and fusion at th...
