I still do not feel 100% about diagnosing a crack without visualizing. However, I have seen some cases where CBCT has identified a crack/fracture and simplified the diagnostics. But that is not everytime.The Endo Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11190879753218706390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076433377834065112.post-28631685854391707632011-12-27T08:12:22.263-08:002011-12-27T08:12:22.263-08:00I couldn't agree more Jason and Robert!

Usually I explain to retreat patients that examination continues into the treatment. I warn of risks of finding fractures and other possible outcomes. <br /><br />I just closed up the access on a first visit for retreatment on #30 through a crown. Internally, I found a fracture extending well past midroot down the distal. Probing depths were 2-3mm and there was no radiographic signs of crestal bone loss or lateral ligament widening. The fracture was not the cause of the previous treatment's failure, and her symptoms will likely resolve, but I still recommended abandoning this course of treatment. A dental implant will be more predictable in the long term. I offered to complete the treatment if the patient was okay with a guarded prognosis. This is an example of the type of fracture that I would love to be able to see on CBCTs, but I'm not sure the technology is there yet. Any luck with those Jason?Justin M.

Whether there is a perforation, missed canal or cracked root. Opening the tooth and examining under a microscope is often the only way to know with certainty, what is going on. Too often, dentists are condemning teeth as cracked or fractured and recommending an implant - when they simply do not know with certainty. Patients deserve more than a guess.The Endo Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11190879753218706390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076433377834065112.post-64829912677510404862011-12-24T18:58:30.750-08:002011-12-24T18:58:30.750-08:00Cases like these prove the necessity for our speci...Cases like these prove the necessity for our specialty to once and for all, state that treating molars without a microscope is BELOW the standard of care.<br /><br />R SalehrabiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
