Vertical root fracture is one of the most common procedural error occurs during endodontic treatment. Due to widening the root canal , increased food habits ,overshaping of the canal, excessive force applied during lateral condensation, improper instrumentation the vertical root fracture occurs .patients may experience soft tissue swelling over the root portion, multiple sinus tract near attached gingiva rather than apical portion,deep, narrow pocket development , repeated post and crown dislodgment, bleeding during condensation,etc. So the diagnosis can be made by trans-illumination test, periodontal probing method,pulp vitality, staining and direct visualisation, Radiographically, it can be investigated with both IOPA & CBCT imaging .on IOPA ,Haloradiolucencies are seen over the periapical portion of the root surface and fracture maybe seen .where CBCT can be easily/ accurately able to defined the fracture and it can able to detect both buccolingual and mesiodistal aspects. It can be managed by fragments amputation, and restoring with retrograde filling material like MTA. It can also be managed with reattachment of the fractured fragments. This article will explain in detail about the basic knowledge of vertical root fracture and about its management.
