Abstract
Cases involving vertical root fractures in endodontically treated teeth can present difficulties in diagnosis. There are clinical and radiographic signs that, when present, can make diagnosis easier. In the two cases presented here, displacement of portions of the root occurred long after obturation of the canal. This spreading apart or movement of the apical portions of the root could be a result of pressure from the proliferating chronic granulation tissue that was present. The radiographic finding of displacement of apical portions of the root can be an additional diagnostic sign that a vertical root fracture had occurred.
