The Cracked Tooth – Part 2.
Cracks: Treatment Options and Prevalence.
presented by:
Dr Masoud Hassan Zadeh
This presentation focuses on identifying clinically significant cracks in teeth and understanding their impact on oral health. It explores which types of cracks require immediate intervention and the potential consequences of both treating and ignoring them. The discussion covers different anatomical crack types and their influence on treatment decisions, along with the “fulcrum effect,” where concentrated forces near the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) increase the risk of molar fractures. Prevalence and evidence-based treatment strategies are also reviewed to support effective clinical management.
Aims & Objectives:
1) Understand the difference between structural and non-structural cracks, how to diagnose them, and how to determine the necessity of treatment.
2) Learn about the effects of aging and bacterial invasion on cracks and their implications for timely treatment.
3) Know the three distinct anatomical types of dental cracks and their impact on treatment options.
4) Gain knowledge of the most effective treatment approaches for cracks, including the importance of crack dissection, the best methods for performing it, and the role of stress and strain in crack progression.
5) Review crack prevalence among patients.
