What you need to know about it The main goals of endodontic treatment are to remove bacteria from the root canal system to promote healing and repair of the periapical tissues and to prevent most bacteria from re-entering the canals. There are many ways for bacteria to penetrate into the root canal system –such as caries, fractures, cracks and breakdown of restorations. In order to have a successful endodontic treatment outcomes, it is important to identify the causes of the pulp and periapical diseases –that is, the pathways of bacterial penetration into the root canal system. This is necessary so that the causes can be removed as part of the treatment. Cracks is a pathway for bacterial penetration into the root canal system. Cracks in teeth are one of the major causes of pulp and periapical diseases. Cracks may be detected during the clinical examination under the normal dental operating light by light deflection, change in tooth colour, shadow, staining or when the crack is large enough to be felt using a sharp dental probe. Another commonly used instrument is a selective occlusal force applicator. However, it is often difficult to find cracks when they are small and there is no associated pulp response. There are no typical symptoms with cracked teeth. The teeth with cracks have various symptoms depending on the status of the pulp;from clinically normal, reversible or irreversible pulpitis to necrotic or pulpless root canal system. Therefore, the treatments for cracked teeth also should have various approaches depending on the status of the pulp. This lecture will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of detecting cracks during dental examination as well as management strategies of cracked teeth.
