Objectives:<br />
Materials and Methods:<br />
Results: Signs and symptoms had no consistent diagnostic patterns. All fractured roots had RCT. Reported pain<br />
was none-mild; swelling (history or presence at 77%) or sinus tract (31%) were more common. Probings showed<br />
different patterns (narrow-rectangular was prevalent at 66%), including no defect (21%). Radiographic patterns<br />
ranged from no change to extensive bone loss (most common was apical+lateral+crestal at 45%); the fracture was<br />
on most roots.<br />
