Vertical root fractures in endodontically treated teeth: a clinical survey of 36 cases.

A clinical study was done on 36 original cases of vertical root fractures along with the data gathered from 32 cases published previously in the literature. Vertical root fractures most frequently occur in posterior teeth in patients between 45 and 60 yr of age. The average elapsed time between the endodontic treatment and the subsequent diagnosis of vertical fracture was found to be approximately 10 yr. The evidence and symptoms most often found are mild pain in the area of the fractured tooth often accompanied by swelling and fistula, along with a deep pocket in just one area of the attachment surrounding the tooth. The sign most often revealed by X-ray is a radiolucent periradicular band.

Age Factors

[Radiographic interpretation of experimentally produced osseous lesions in the human mandible].

Using rotary instruments drilled bony cavities which differed in diameter and depth into a human jaw. X-rays were taken and developed employing a very precise and accurate technique to obtain high definition radiograph. From a careful study of these x-rays it was found that localized lesions in cancellous bone alone are difficult to visualize on x-rays, whereas they are easily noticeable when the cortical bone is involved.

Humans

[Access cavity for endodontic treatment of anterior teeth].

In this study the authors investigated a group of front teeth, extracted because of the periodontal problems, into which an access cavity have been drilled at the point shown on an x-ray between two straight lines which start at the apex and are tangent to the pulp chamber. These teeth were then horizontally sectioned at the cement-enamel junction to see how much dental substance remained compared to a control group into which a traditional opening had been made through the palatal surface. The result show a greater conservation of dentin when the direct method of opening discussed herein was used.
