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."
Root fracture. Root fracture of the tooth is a dentine cementum fracture involving the pulp. Traumatic root fracture occurs most often in the middle third of the roots of fully erupted and fully formed teeth. However, root treated teeth are more susceptible to root fracture, as this involves removing root dentine, thereby weakening the tooth. [1]
Enamel fractures can vary in severity, ranging from minor cosmetic issues to more significant structural problems. An enamel fracture typically doesn't cause any noticeable symptoms such as tenderness or an increase in mobility. However, if sensitivity and mobility are present, it may indicate an enamel-dentine fracture or a root fracture. [1]
In an immature permanent tooth pulpal necrosis causes the development of the root to stop. This causes the walls of the root to become fragile and thin which can make these teeth more prone to cervical root fracture and ultimately the tooth may be lost. These teeth in the past were treated with the calcium hydroxide apexification technique.
In extreme cases (such as a vertical fracture), tooth may need to be extracted 6–8 weeks: clinical and radiographic examination 1 year: clinical and radiographic examination 6) Crown-root fracture with pulp Involvement Fracture involving enamel, dentine and cementum with pulp exposure Tender tooth with mobile crown fragment
Tooth resorption. Resorption of the root of the tooth, or root resorption, is the progressive loss of dentin and cementum by the action of odontoclasts. [4] Root resorption is a normal physiological process that occurs in the exfoliation of the primary dentition. However, pathological root resorption occurs in the permanent or secondary ...
Idiopathic osteosclerosis, also known as enostosis or dense bone island, is a condition which may be found around the roots of a tooth, usually a premolar or molar. [2] It is usually painless and found during routine radiographs as an amorphous radiopaque (light) area around a tooth. There is no sign of inflammation of the tooth, and if the ...
