Objective To implement digital X-ray dental film and CBCT examination measures in clinical practice to clarify the effect of digital X-ray dental film in diagnosing vertical root fractures. Methods A total of 69 patients with suspected vertical root fractures from February 2023 to February 2024 were included in the study. CBCT examination and digital X-ray dental film were used to diagnose each patient, and the two examinations were analyzed in combination with pathological examination (gold standard). Results In terms of diagnostic specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy, the CBCT examination method had higher values (P<0.05). Conclusion The CBCT examination measures in the diagnosis of vertical root fractures have high diagnostic specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy, which can provide an important reference for the diagnosis of vertical root fractures, which is of great significance to improve the diagnostic efficiency of vertical root fractures.
