In vivo detection of vertical root fractures in endodontically treated teeth: Accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography and assessment of potential predictor variables

Abstract: Background This study aimed: (a) to determine the diagnostic performance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for detection of vertical root fractures (VRFs); (b) to evaluate the predictive value of diagnostic criteria regarding the definition of VRFs; and (c) to examine the robustness of the association of patient-, tooth-, and treatment-related variables with VRFs. Material and Methods 130 root-filled teeth with signs/symptoms of VRFs underwent clinical and CBCT as… Show more

“…In our study, posterior teeth comprised 77% of the cases which is consistent with other studies [24,25,[30][31][32][33][34][35]. Earlier studies have reported that VRF to be found significantly more in females than in males [24][25][26]32,34,35].…”

“…Incident “cases” included those ETT in which an Endodontist surgically confirmed VRF through surgical flap elevation and direct observation of fracture under a dental operating microscope after presenting any of the following clinical, radiographic or tomographic examinations, supplemented the records per case. signs: localized inflammation, increased mobility, presence of sinus tract adjacent to the gingival margin, angular or lateral bone resorption patterns with lateral extension, and compromised crestal bone height ( 7 ) (Fig. 1 ).…”

“…Regarding the biological mechanisms behind VRF on endodontically-treated teeth, it has become more apparent how the loss of mechanoreceptors present in the pulp tissue would reduce the protection required during masticatory impact, causing (in short periods) fracture of the coronal tissue ( 6 ). Furthermore, parafunctional habits were significantly associated with the presence of VRF, implying that a change in the proprioception mechanism for endodontically-treated teeth could reduce the responsiveness to functional or parafunctional chewing loads ( 7 ).…”
