Dentists continually deal with heightened anxiety in removing old, failing restorations. Once unveiled, more often than not, surprises are found, creating difficult restorative challenges. In this case, Dr Blatz was faced with the dilemma of what to do next following the removal of a direct molar restoration and discovering an enamel-dentin fracture with little tooth structure remaining. Participants will be asked to evaluate the well-documented initial findings to determine the most appropriate course of treatment.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this session, attendees should be able to: - Diagnose and treat tooth fractures with evidence-based solutions - Identify minimally invasive techniques in treating cracked teeth.
