Vertical root fracture is an important threat to the tooth's prognosis during and after root canal treatment. The diagnosis of vertical root fracture can be problematic, and it often requires prediction rather than definitive identification.

Vertical root fractures are a type of fracture of a tooth. They can be characterized by an incomplete or complete fracture line that extends through the long axis of the root toward the apex. Vertical root fractures represent between 2 and 5 percent of crown/root fractures. The greatest incidence occurs in endodontically treated teeth, and in ...

Vertical root fracture is a big challenge to dentists for its diagnosis and treatment. As the tooth presents poor prognosis, the most common treatment modality is extraction. One can save the tooth from extraction by the reconstruction of fracture fragments followed by intentional reimplantation. New treatment options have arrived for healing ...

A vertical root fracture (VRF) is a longitudinal (axial) fracture involving the cementum, dentine and root canal system of a root. The authors of this paper suggest the following classification of VRF: incomplete if the fracture only involves one side of the root and complete if the VRF extends from one proximal aspect to the opposite side of ...

2013年7月18日 · Radiographic features of vertical root fracture. Radiographic features of vertical root fractures vary widely. These may be observed on radiographs as diffuse widening of periodontal ligament,[] dislodgement of retro-filling material,[] vertical bone loss [],[] separation of root fragments[] or displacement of apical portions of root.[] Presence of ‘radiographic halo’ has been shown as a ...

A vertical root fracture (VRF) is a complex condition in which the fracture lines can be partial or complete and extend along the long axis of the tooth. Considering the nature of the damage and the low likelihood of a successful outcome, such ...

Vertical root fractures represent between 2 and 5 percent of crown/root fractures, with the greatest incidence occurring in endodontically treated teeth and in patients older than 40 years of age. 2. Figure 1 Radiograph from a 52-year-old man showing a vertical root fracture in a second maxillary premolar serving as a bridge abutment. Note the ...

A vertical root fracture (VRF) is a common and often devastating event. When identified, the treatment plan is straightforward: extraction of a single-rooted tooth, or at least root amputation or hemisection of a molar. As a result of a VRF, processes begin near the root.

Vertical root fracture Factors related to identification Richard E. Walton, DMD, MS A vertical root fracture (VRF) is a common and often devastating event. When identified, the treatment plan is straightforward: extraction of a single-rooted tooth, or at least root amputation or hemi-section of a molar. As a result of a VRF, processes begin ...

2016年7月18日 · Vertical root fracture (VRF) is a term used to describe longitudinally orientated cracks or fractures originating within the tooth root. The fracture may involve proximal and/or aproximal surfaces (Pitts and Natkin, 1983; Colleagues for Excellence; American Association of Endodontists, 2008). Although VRFs are more commonly associated with ...
