Opis

Tooth fractures are commonly encountered emergencies in a dental clinic. Root fractures are defined as fractures involving the dentine, cementum and pulp. They are broadly classified as horizontal and vertical root fractures. They may be clinically challenging cases to treat; as treatment of such cases requires an interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary approach for complete rehabilitation of teeth. For a successful outcome, it is imperative to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis and design a treatment plan accordingly as soon as possible. Traumatic injuries to a tooth can vary in severity from a simple enamel infarction to a complete ex-articulation of tooth- Avulsion. Among these injuries, tooth fractures are considered to be the third most common cause of tooth loss. Of particular interest to clinicians are the cases of root fractures as their management is clinically challenging & may involve an interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary treatment approach. This Book addresses Root fractures in great depth starting from their prevalence diagnosis, prevention strategies & management.
