Trauma to the teeth can result in the formation of cracks in the crown or root of the tooth. The location and the extent of these cracks determine the proper treatment choice. This treatment is oriented towards saving pulp vitality and/or tooth integrity. In this paper the diagnosis of these cracks is described as well as the desired treatment. These are discussed relative to the location of the cracks, namely in the clinical crown of the tooth, resulting in enamel infraction, cracked tooth and crown fractures, and in the root of the tooth, resulting in a vertical or horizontal root fracture.
Resective therapy for the treatment of furcation defects is an essential part of the periodontal therapist's armamentarium. Root resection can successfully treat specific furcation defects that cannot be solved by other surgical and nonsurgical approaches. Complications with these resective procedures are not rare but are usually avoidable when specific endodontic, surgical and restorative guidelines are followed.
The causes of tooth surface loss are multi-factorial and hence can be difficult to eradicate. This paper identifies the problems that may be anticipated during the long-term management of patients where tooth surface loss has been treated using removable appliances, where the number of teeth is often reduced. Wear and tear are inevitable and patients should therefore be made fully aware of the possibility of the gradual deterioration and failure of restorative work. Treatments should be planned, which would enable the dentist to recover the situation, with minimal inconvenience to the patient.
