Frecuencia de fracturas radiculares en dientes tratados endodónticamente. Revisión de la literatura.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the frequency of root fractures in endodontically treated teeth through a literature review. Materials and Methods: An exploratory, observational, cross-sectional, and current analysis was carried out by searching databases in journals including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, where articles were collected for a bibliographic review, and the information was analyzed to ensure that it met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Conclusions: It was identified that root fractures after endodontics occur more frequently in teeth with exaggerated tissue wear, teeth with posts, and several other iatrogenies. The type of fracture generated in this case is the vertical root fracture. In the diagnosis, it is mentioned the importance of the anamnesis combined with complementary radiography. After this, the treatment to follow will depend on the fracture that is being faced.
