Abstract
Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of vertical root fracture using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: We reviewed the CBCT images of 41 patients who were examined and verified vertical root fracture. The characteristics of root fractures (pulpal vitality, existence of injury, kind of tooth, and core construction) that were considered to influence the occurrence of root fracture were investigated. The position of the tooth and the fracture direction were also examined. Diagnostic propriety of root fractures between intraoral radiography and CBCT was examined. Statistical analyses of each characteristic and the fracture direction were performed by Chi-squared test. The position of the tooth and diagnostic propriety were analyzed by cross-tabulation. Results: The number of vertical root fracture was larger at nonvital tooth (P
