Case of the Week: Vertical root fracture


This week I am showcasing an extreme case of vertical root fracture.  This case had complete separation of the two fragments.  I didn’t put an arrow on this radiograph, but I’m sure you can see where the root is split in two.  As this is an extreme case I recommend you check out my page on vertical root fractures for less extreme cases.


For more information and other radiographs of vertical root fractures check out my page on vertical root fractures.

Enjoy!
