Abstract

In the modern era where dentistry is more considerate in preserving the natural tooth in the oral cavity, Vertical Root Fractures (VRFs) are diagnosed as the third most common reason for extraction of tooth. VRFs are more common in endodontic ally treated tooth. As the symptoms of VRFs are not precise, the clinical diagnosis of VRFs at the early stage becomes questionable. Persistent presence of VRFs leads to the damage of the surrounding supporting structures making rehabilitation of extracted tooth site more challenging. In recent times emerging trends in treatment modalities of VRFs has been introduced. This review article highlights the recent trends in aetiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis and treatment of VRF teeth.
