Product not yet rated

CE Hours: 1.0

Description: Cemental tear (CT) is a rare condition with poorly understood prevalence, etiology, and clinical presentation, often mimicking vertical root fractures or endodonticperiodontal lesions. This review aimed to synthesize current evidence on CT and propose a diagnostic framework.

At the conclusion of this article, the reader will be able to: 

  • Analyze the multifactorial etiology and predisposing factors of cemental tears to identify patients at higher clinical risk.
  • Differentiate the unique radiographic patterns of cemental tears from other root-related pathologies using advanced imaging modalities.
  • Evaluate clinical signs and symptoms to minimize misdiagnosis and avoid unnecessary interventions.
