Popis: Background/purpose: Early diagnosis of vertical root fracture (VRF) has been a great challenge. Since there is no single specific etiology identified, prevention of VRFs in endodontically treated teeth is quite difficult. The study aimed to evaluate the clinical associated factors of VRFs. Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study of medical charts was conducted in the Department of Endodontics of Taipei Medical University Hospital in Taiwan from January 2012 to July 2018. Logistic regression model was performed to determine the association between VRF and its clinical associated factors, inclusive of the tooth characteristics (age, gender and tooth type) and iatrogenic risk factors (history of root canal treatment, restoration and post). Results: A total of 359 teeth were included in the study. The prevalence of VRF on a tooth basis was 18.7%. The result showed that age of more than 50 years (adjusted OR = 3.20, 95% CI: 1.81–5.64, p
