Abstract

Obiective To study the application of root apex locator to diagnose vertical root fracture.Methods We used the root apex locator to measure work length of each root canal of 36 cases and compared the measured results.Results The work length of root canal with vertical root fracture was obviously shorter than that of the compared root canal.After the teeth with vertical root fracture were pulled out,it was confirmed that the location of vertical root fracture accorded with the measured results.Conclusion The root apex locator is very helpful in diagnosing vertical root fracture.
