Cracked Tooth Diagnosis Made Easy

Most dentists miss this critical step that could save their patients from unnecessary pain

and complications. When examining for cracked tooth syndrome, traditional visual inspection only

catches about thirty percent of cases. Here's what actually works. Use transillumination

with a fiber optic light at a forty five degree angle combined with bite pressure tests on

individual cusps. This technique reveals microfractures invisible to the naked eye and prevents misdiagnosis

that leads to failed treatments. The difference between a successful restoration and an extraction

often comes down to this one diagnostic moment. Your patients trust you to catch what

others miss.
