“…Also, using a direct bonded composite resin restoration has been proposed as a successful treatment in this situation (27). If a marginal ridge crack is identified early enough in teeth with reversible pulpitis and a full crown restoration is placed, endodontic treatment will be necessary in only 20% of these cases within a 6-month period (28).…”

“…The clinical symptoms and radiographic signs are not completely pathognomonic (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7), although dual sinus tracts or sinus tract-like pockets on opposite sides of a root are considered almost pathognomonic for a VRF (8). The prognosis of VRF is poor.…”

Our aim was to compare the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and periapical radiographs (PRs) in detecting vertical root fractures (VRFs) and to assess the influence of root canal filling (RCF) on fracture visibility. Eighty teeth were endodontically prepared and divided into four groups. The teeth in groups A and B were artificially fractured, and teeth in groups C and D were not. Groups A and C were root filled. Four observers evaluated the CBCT scans and PR images. Sensitivity and specificity for VRF detection of CBCT were 79.4% and 92.5% and for PR were 37.1% and 95%, respectively. The specificity of CBCT was reduced (p = 0.032) by the presence of RCF, but its overall accuracy was not influenced (p = 0.654). Both the sensitivity (p = 0.006) and overall accuracy (p = 0.008) of PRs were reduced by the presence of RCF. The results showed an overall higher accuracy for CBCT (0.86) scans than PRs (0.66) for detecting VRF.

“…The information obtained can sometimes provide clues to guide the clinician toward an accurate diagnosis. For example, recent crown placement [4] or prior pulp capping [5] are positive findings that can lead to breakdown of pulp, even if the patient did not present with symptoms immediately after treatment was rendered.…”
