Vertical root fractures in vital and endodontically treated teeth are difficult to diagnose. Extraction or root amputation offers the best resolution for these challenging dental conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Vertical root fractures (VRFs) are a significant diagnostic challenge in endodontics and periodontology.
  • Differentiating VRFs from periodontal issues is crucial for prognosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, etiologies, and clinical presentation of VRFs.
  • To emphasize the importance of accurate differential diagnosis and outline effective treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and personal clinical experience regarding VRFs.
  • Analysis of predisposing factors, symptomatology, radiographic signs, and differential diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • VRFs occur in both vital and endodontically treated teeth, with varied presentations.

  • Accurate diagnosis is often hindered by subtle signs and symptoms, mimicking periodontal disease.
  • Extraction for single-rooted teeth and root amputation for multi-rooted teeth with adequate bone support are effective treatments.

    • Conclusions:

    • A preventive, global approach is essential to reduce the incidence of VRFs.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is key to improving the generally unfavorable prognosis of VRFs.
