Abstract
Vertical root fracture (VRF) often occurs in endodontically treated teeth. Root canal therapy (RCT) requires removal of part of the dentin, which affects the microhardness and elastic modulus of dentine, induces dentin microcracks, and increases the risk of VRF. The early diagnosis of VRF is challenging and the prognosis is poor, due to the absence of specific clinical manifestations. This narrative review analyzes the incidence and related factors of VRF after RCT from the perspective of etiology, discusses the effect and mechanism of each step during RCT on the occurrence of VRF, and briefly summarizes the diagnosis, prevention and treatment strategies of VRF, so as to reduce the occurrence of VRF and improve the prognosis of endodontically treated teeth.
期刊介绍:
Founded in August 1953, Chinese Journal of Stomatology is a monthly academic journal of stomatology published publicly at home and abroad, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and co-sponsored by the Chinese Stomatology Association. It mainly reports the leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in the field of oral medicine, as well as the basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in oral clinical practice and is closely combined with oral clinical practice.
Chinese Journal of Over the years, Stomatology has been published in Medline, Scopus database, Toxicology Abstracts Database, Chemical Abstracts Database, American Cancer database, Russian Abstracts database, China Core Journal of Science and Technology, Peking University Core Journal, CSCD and other more than 20 important journals at home and abroad Physical medicine database and retrieval system included.
