The Correlation of Crack Lines and Definitive Restorations with the Survival and Success Rates of Cracked Teeth: A Long-term Retrospective Clinical Study

CE Hours: 1.0

Description: Cracked teeth frequently require protective adhesive restorations. This long-term, longitudinal retrospective clinical study aimed to evaluate the factors influencing the success and survival rates of cracked teeth with crack lines (CLs) in different directions when restored early with onlays or full-coverage crowns.

• Conceptualize and describe the characteristics of cracked teeth, their signs, and symptoms.
• Diagnose and manage a cracked tooth according to your pulp and periapical diagnosis.
• Explain why early restoration of a cracked tooth with a full crown, preferably adhesive restoration, is beneficial for the survival of cracked teeth.
