CE Hours: 1.0 CE hour
Description: Cracked teeth are a common clinical finding; however, their presence renders diagnosis and prognosis unreliable. The purpose of this research was to assess the correlations of multiple factors on the prognosis of cracked teeth that had undergone endodontic treatment.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- List the factors which have negative impact on the prognosis of endodontically treated cracked teeth.
- Discuss the prognosis of a cracked tooth before, during, and after the root canal treatment.
- Describe the importance of a definitive restoration to endodontically treated cracked teeth.
