Background:

This study aimed to evaluate the role of periodontal endoscopy in clinical decision-making for teeth with suspected vertical root fracture (S-VRF) and to assess the diagnostic accuracy of this procedure with respect to vertical root fracture (VRF).

Methods:

A prospective cohort of 115 S-VRFs meeting the inclusion criteria was analysed. The teeth were independently evaluated by two endodontists and subsequently categorized into three groups based on the type of pre-endoscopic treatment: flap surgery (S group, n = 56), endodontic treatment (R group, n = 48), and extraction (E group, n = 11). Periodontal endoscopic examination was performed for all the teeth, and treatment plans were reassigned based on findings. The diagnosis of VRF was confirmed by intraoperative crack identification or clinical failure within a 1-year follow-up period. Three cases were excluded because they were lost to follow-up.

Results:

Compared with cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT), periodontal endoscopy was associated with a reduction in unnecessary nonsurgical treatment by 39.58% (19/48), reduced the incidence of unnecessary surgical treatment by 64.28% (36/56), and an increase in diagnostic accuracy by 49.1%.The sensitivity of periodontal endoscopy for VRF detection was 84.3%.

Conclusions:

Periodontal endoscopy may enhanced clinical decision-making and was associated with a reduced incidence of unnecessary nonsurgical and surgical interventions in patients with S-VRFs.

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Tooth Anatomy

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
