Course Overview
Cracked teeth and vertical root fractures, are terms often used interchangeably in clinical practice, although representing two distinct clinical entities. Rendering a correct diagnosis may be challenging due to the similarities in their clinical presentation. These conditions have always presented a restorative dilemma for dentists, as it is difficult to estimate the prognosis and render the correct treatment. Various etiological factors have been identified, to contribute to cracks and fractures.
This presentation will discuss methods to identify each entity and achieve an accurate diagnosis, through a series of clinical cases. Furthermore, we will be discussing the various prognostic factors that may influence the choice of treatment as well as the clinical outcome, over the long-term.
