Cracks, deep, deeper, …deepest understandingThis webinar focuses on the early diagnosis and management of cracks in the posterior dentition. A clinical approach, based on sound biomechanical considerations will be presented. A clear protocol and guidelines will help you to understand the steps needed to offer the best prognosis possible.
The “molar lifecycle” or the “Circle of Death” whereby a small filling can eventually lead to loss of vitality or even extraction of a tooth is well known. Nevertheless, a clear strategy and guidelines on how to prevent this dramatic scenario to develop has not been proposed. Thorough understanding of the bio-mechanical behavior of teeth, both sound and restored, on a macro- and micro-level will allow us to come forward with effective measures to save teeth and be less aggressive in our treatment proposals. A pro-active approach will be proposed, both for vital and non-vital teeth. The importance of early diagnosis, healthy strategy , effective isolation and skillful execution will be evident in this presentation. Keywords are: Essential, Powerful, Interactive, Concise. Simply EPIC.
Learning objectives:
Learning objective 1: Understand how cracks originate and evolve
Learning objective 2: Diagnose cracks early
Learning objective 3: Know how to manage cracks
Learning objective 4: Know what materials and techniques to us
Learning objective 5: Understand and apply the guidelines for cuspal coverage

Brilliant lecture!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for this interesting lecture
Great lecture
thank you
Thank you Docs!
Do you redesign antagonist tooth to reduce reason
Thank you for presentation.
Is it advised to dissect cracks into dentine?
Big hug , to all Nice Lecture
What do you think about sealing the crack for arresting the beacteria .
Thanks for the brilliant presentation!
Fluorescence and white light also with K-lite !
Great as D light Pro
When using the fluorescence mode on the GC curing light (DT mode) does the eyes have to be protected/shielded?
Thank tou very much for interesting webinar!
Can you repeat how to differentiate clinically between etween cracks starting from dentine to enamel and those from enamel to dentine
If a patient has multiple asymptomatic compression fractures of the marginal ridges in teeth restored with amalgam, would you recommend removing the restoration & marginal ridges?
Should you treat every tooth with a crackline?
How reliable is the pain on release sign in diagnosing a fracture, in other words how often do tou get false negative results
Saludos David and Stefan nice to See you also. Maciej
What is the treatment of cracked teeth ?
When do we extract a cracked teeth?
When a crack is suspected and the pulp is reacting extremely to cold or warm is it an option to make a temporary crown?
Does “crack” have an impact on the decision to keep vital pulp?
Thank you for a great lecture

Hello
How do we decide to chase or not chase cracks
THANK YOU! very informative and interesting lecture!!!
Great lectures and moderation!
But where is the crack?
are there any materials that can help in stopping the cracks … or fractures …?
can you recement the oblique fractured posterior tooth ?
Do I understand your last words right? – if there is a vertical crack in the dentin, the lingual/palatal and buccal (m+d) cusps needs to be lowered and covered?
How yo differentiate between enamel and dentin cracks
I usually find in patients at low risk of caries, marginsli ridge cracks associated with E2 or D1 caries after 6 months that were not there before. are they biomechanical failures or my own diagnostic negligence on my part?
Do you agree it happens more often on teeth restored with amalgam?
When the tooth has had an amalgam filling I do ceramic. A bonded composite is not able to stablize the tooth. The coefficient of thermal expansion & contraction of composite is more then tooth structure. This has been 100% successful.

if you discover the crack line … do you have to drill it out , or it is a contraindication to drill into the crack as the propagation can be created …what is your opinion ?
what source of light is the best in your opinion in diagnostics of cracks ?
Muchas gracias!! Excelente sesión!!
??
Good luck everyone!
