What is a cracked tooth syndrome?
Cracked tooth syndrome is a dental condition that exists when the tooth has a very small fracture. A person with a cracked tooth may cause pain in the area of a broken tooth when chewing or biting, but is unable to accurately identify which tooth causes pain. Fractures or cracks in the teeth are so small that they can be naked on a visible eye. They are not always visible on X -ray.
people who turn or grind their teeth have advanced gum diseases, large fillings or teeth that had root channels, are more susceptible to experience a cracked tooth syndrome. People who have had at least one experience with a cracked tooth syndrome are more likely to experience other fractures. The lower rear stools are more susceptible to fractures than other teeth because they absorb most of the force of chewing.
There are three different classifications of cracks in the tooth. The first type of crack is a sloping fracture of the supragingival, which occurs in the harbor of the tooth above the gum line. The second type of crack is a sloping floorA fracture that affects large parts of the tooth and often runs to the jaw. The third type of crack is called a vertical fracture of Furcation. This type of fracture extends over the nerves in the tooth, which is divided into two or more individual roots.
In an oblique supragingive fracture, the patient may not take any pain. In subgingival and vertical fractures of fractures, patients will most likely experience a certain level of pain or discomfort.
There are also three types of cracks that apply to the roots of the teeth. There are sloping roots fractures under the gum line and can go to the jaw. In the vertical fracture of the root, the root became dry and fragile, usually when the nerve died, and then broke. The vertical apical fracture of the root is the division in the middle of the root.
The cracked tooth syndrome is diagnosed by dental examination. The dentist will be usual by testing the bite test by asking the patient to bite on a special dental tool that is placed on the tooth with a suspicious ZLOMENINA. The dentist holds the tool against one dental peak at once while the patient bites down. If the pressure on biting causes pain, a broken surface of the tooth was placed. Other methods that are sometimes used to locate fractures are painting special tooth dyes, visual control and X -ray.
Treatment of a cracked tooth syndrome depends on the location, type and severity of the fracture. The root canal is often performed and then the tooth is covered with a crown. Some circumstances, for example, when the tooth is damaged outside the repair requires the extraction of damaged tooth. In the tooth with more than one crack there are pillars inside the tooth to stabilize.
