begins on the internal canal wall & extends outward to the root.
OOOOE 1999 Apr;87;4:504-7
CLASSIFICATION
Features of VRF: Begins internally & grows outward to the root surface.
Features of VRF: Either short or extend the length of the root from apex
to cervical portion.
Diagnosis
A. Dental History B. Visual Examination C. Bite Challenge Tests D. Periodontal Probing
E. Transillumination
F. Staining G. Radiographic Examination H. Exploratory Surgery

Dental history
H/O repeated occlusal adjustments with only temporary
area.
H/O other cracked teeth.
Visual Examination
Start with the face, checking for enlarged jaw muscles.
Check for wear facets, which may indicate a history of
force.
Check the teeth for tight cusp-fossae relationships that
Bite Tests
Use a rubber wheel, wood stick, or other
instrument to focus biting pressures on specific cusps to reproduce the patient's complaint.
Pain during biting or chewing is considered a
classic symptom and may be the only conclusive evidence early in the crack's development.

T his is a report of the treatment and prognosis of a maxillary
second milar exhibiting a complete vertical crown-root fracture. The buccal and palatal segments were widely separated by as much as 2 mm and were immobile.. This was accomplished by application of orthodontic elastics to the tooth crown in combination with a wire splint. After approximately 1 month of continuous use of the orthodontic elastics, the dislodged segments were suitably repositioned close to their original positions. The tooth was then endodontically treated and restored with a case complete crown. The restored tooth has become functioning well, with periodic periodontal maintenance, for more than 3.5 years, indicating a promising prognosis.6:479-484.)
