Every day in practice dentists need to decide whether a tooth can be maintained or is deemed to be extracted and replaced. This presentation will expand on objective criteria leading to an evidence based decision.
Lots of misconceptions about cracks in teeth and how to restore teeth to prevent them from breaking circulate. A classification of longitudinal cracks in teeth which can be immediately translated into relevant therapeutic decisions will be covered. Given the fact that symptoms only appear in an advanced stage after serious damage to dentine, pulp, periodontium or bone will already have been caused, the presentation also addresses a method by which as yet symptom free teeth can be managed to prevent them from getting irreversibly damaged. This presentations also covers some urban legends like teeth weakened by the endodontic treatment, the need for posts, the emotional resistance against cusp coverage for the sake of tissue preservation etc.
