In mature teeth, root canal treatment is usually performed Non-emergency: removal of loose fragment (following gingivectomy, surgery or via orthodontics), root canal treatment and restoration with post-retained crown In extreme cases (such as a vertical fracture), tooth may need to be extracted 6–8 weeks: clinical and radiographic examination
Vertical root fracture. Vertical root fractures are a type of fracture of a tooth. They can be characterized by an incomplete or complete fracture line that extends through the long axis of the root toward the apex. Vertical root fractures represent between 2 and 5 percent of crown/root fractures. The greatest incidence occurs in endodontically ...
Cracked tooth syndrome could be considered a type of dental trauma and also one of the possible causes of dental pain.One definition of cracked tooth syndrome is "a fracture plane of unknown depth and direction passing through tooth structure that, if not already involving, may progress to communicate with the pulp and/or periodontal ligament."
The fractures can involve the whole length of the root or only a section of it. When un-recognised they lead to frustration and inappropriate endodontic therapy. The time between a root filling and a fracture is around 39 months, but they can occur during the treatment. [3] Diagnosis is tricky as there as signs and symptoms are frequently ...
Oroantral fistula. .. [1] Oroantral fistula (OAF) is an epithelialized oroantral communication (OAC). OAC refers to an abnormal connection between the oral cavity and the antrum (or maxillary sinus). The creation of an OAC is most commonly due to the extraction of a maxillary (upper) tooth, typically a maxillary first molar, which is closely ...
Dental abscess. A decayed, broken down tooth, which has undergone pulpal necrosis. A periapical abscess (i.e. around the apex of the tooth root) has then formed and pus is draining into the mouth via an intraoral sinus (gumboil). A dental abscess is a localized collection of pus associated with a tooth.
In the dental specialty of endodontics, periradicular surgery is surgery to the external root surface. Examples of periradicular surgery include apicoectomy, root resection, repair of root perforation or resorption defects, removal of broken fragments of the tooth or a filling material, and exploratory surgery to look for root fractures.

Enamel fracture. An enamel fracture is when the outermost layer of the tooth is cracked, without damaging the inner layers including the dentine or pulp. This can happen from trauma such as a fall where the teeth are impacted by a hard object causing a chip to occur. The term “craze lines” and "enamel infraction" are also used to describe ...
