OBJECTIVE To study the induction of vertical root split by occlusal force. METHODS 1. The occlusal contact force was studied in 34 cases (39 teeth) by photocclusion. 2. The stress analysis for the first mandicular molar was studied by three-dimensional definite element. RESULTS 1. The occlusal contact force didn't distribute balancedly in 26 cases (31 teeth) and the suffering teeth bore greater force. 2. The bucco-lingual central line of the mesial root canal wall underwent greater tensile stress when tooth bore load with 30 degrees angle to axis, or buccal-lingual lateral load or logitudinal occlusive load on the masial or distal cusp. CONCLUSIONS The vertical root split of molar is associated with greater occlusal force and the stress that concentrated on the buccolingual central line of the mesial root wall for a long time.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008963 Molar The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower). They are grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p821) Molars
D001732 Bite Force The force applied by the masticatory muscles in dental occlusion. Masticatory Force,Occlusal Force,Bite Forces,Force, Bite,Force, Masticatory,Force, Occlusal,Forces, Bite,Forces, Masticatory,Forces, Occlusal,Masticatory Forces,Occlusal Forces
D003766 Dental Occlusion The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D014082 Tooth Fractures Break or rupture of a tooth or tooth root. Fracture, Tooth,Fractures, Tooth,Tooth Fracture
D014092 Tooth Root The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots.
