Abstract
|
|
|
|
It is difficult to diagnose differently from other diseases if patients have pain due to cracked teeth. The main reason why cracked tooth diagnosis is difficult is that there is no diagnostic method that can visualize and quantitatively evaluate the degree and depth of cracks. Bite tests, methylene blue staining, transillumination tests, and x-ray tests can be performed to diagnose cracked teeth. In this paper, I will explore the pros and cons of the methods used so far and discuss their effectiveness in diagnosing cracked teeth.
