A definitive diagnosis of vertical ischolar_main fracture (VRF) is often a challenging diagnosis for clinicians. This is because periapical radiographs are usually unable to detect the fracture line due to two dimensional image. This case of ischolar_main canal treated with apical periodontist was diagnosed with vertical ischolar_main fracture based on findings from clinical, radiographic, and cone-beam computerized tomographic (CBCT) examinations. CBCT aids in information regarding fracture line which cannot be detected in radiograph due to the direction of x-ray beam. Hence CBCT greatly helps in the diagnosis and management of VRF. However, the clinical and radiographic data is also much need hence CBCT can be used as an adjunct for cases with difficult diagnosis.

Abstract


A definitive diagnosis of vertical ischolar_main fracture (VRF) is often a challenging diagnosis for clinicians. This is because periapical radiographs are usually unable to detect the fracture line due to two dimensional image. This case of ischolar_main canal treated with apical periodontist was diagnosed with vertical ischolar_main fracture based on findings from clinical, radiographic, and cone-beam computerized tomographic (CBCT) examinations. CBCT aids in information regarding fracture line which cannot be detected in radiograph due to the direction of x-ray beam. Hence CBCT greatly helps in the diagnosis and management of VRF. However, the clinical and radiographic data is also much need hence CBCT can be used as an adjunct for cases with difficult diagnosis.
