Abstract
A variety of clinical cases of vertical root fractures (VRFs) in endodontically treated teeth will be presented in this chapter. The importance in achieving accurate VRF diagnosis will be emphasized with figures and legends, and the clinical difficulties will be highlighted. The more typical cases will be presented, together with those in which the accurate VRF diagnosis was difficult to achieve. The importance of accumulating the most relevant information from the history of the involved tooth with meticulous clinical examination is shown in these clinical VRF cases.
