Efficient, conservative treatment of symptomatic cracked teeth.
Every practice has patients who complain of cold sensitivity and pain on biting while showing no obvious signs of irreversible pulpitis. After loading each cusp and fossa in a symptomatic quadrant and ruling out pulp and periodontal pathology, definitive treatment can be performed to alleviate the patient's symptoms in a consistent, conservative manner using esthetic computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing porcelain restorations. Single-appointment definitive restorations can be advantageous for the patient because of the elimination of many steps involved in laboratory fabrication of porcelain or metal restorations.
