NS-3 Cracked Teeth: Updated Evidence-based Treatment Protocols for Saving More Teeth and Maximizing Success
CE Hours: 1.5
Description: Management of cracked teeth is a daily endeavor in endodontic practice. Understanding the multiple variables that impact cracked teeth longevity and employing specific modifications to treatments will maximize successful outcomes. New outcomes data is yielding increased optimism for saving more cracked teeth. This evidence-based presentation aims to answer the poignant questions: “which cracked teeth are treatable?” , “what is the success and prognosis of endodontically treated cracked teeth and those with radicular extension?”, “what is CBCT’s role with cracked teeth”, "How does crack-associated periodontal pocketing (CAIPP) impact these teeth?", and “how can I increase my success when managing cracked teeth generally, and those with radicular extension?”.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe specific, evidence-based treatment and post-treatment modifiers that increase the success of endodontically-treated cracked teeth.
- Describe the prognosis of endodontically-treated cracked teeth compared to non-cracked endodontically treated teeth, based on outcomes studies.
- Describe which variables are most impactful in cracked teeth treatment and management.
