About this video

In this second conference designed for Universidad Francisco Marroquín dentistry students, Eric Rivera looks at longitudinal tooth fractures. He discusses five different kinds of fractures: craze line, cuspal fracture, cracked tooth, split tooth, and vertical root fracture.  Rivera explains that each one of these dental problems has specific characteristics and symptoms, which he goes into in detail.  Rivera also delves into the classic confusion between cracks and fractures; clarifying the issue based on his clinical experience and the academic literature. He also recommends certain techniques and specific equipment to identify each one of these complex problems.
