A vertical root fracture on radiograph is typically seen in which region?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Apical and lateral
- A. A purely lateral location does not capture the full vertical extent.
- B. An isolated apical finding alone is incomplete.
- C. Correct. Vertical root fractures characteristically produce both apical and lateral bone loss (a "halo"/J-shaped or combined apical-lateral radiolucency).
- D. Mid-root only understates the typical extent of the lesion.
