A person’s scope of practice can change throughout their…
Vertical root fracture is the one of the most critical complications of endodontically treated teeth which can take place before, during or after root canal filling and can end up with tooth loss (1, 2,3). Exaggerated loss of tooth structure due to trauma and caries, dehydration of dentin (4), access cavity preparation, mechanical preparation (5) and irrigation (6) of the root canal, and post space preparation are critical factors that would influence the durability and strength of root canal…
