Cracks and Vertical Root Fractures is a clinically oriented and practically designed seminar. It is directed mainly to general dentist to help in the day-to-day practice! This topic is considered one of the most challenging topics in dentistry. As an Endodontist, this topic became part of my daily practice, and for that I would like to share not only my advanced training in Endodontics, but my personal tips and tricks! We will focus on diagnosis, treatment planning, prognosis and patient communication dealing with this ambiguous subject. We will be discussing clinical cases, delivering clinical-relevant tips for the aim to make this topic less mysterious and for the attendees to have more confident in making precise diagnosis and suitable clinical judgment! In addition, we will cover the most recent updates in the literature regarding cracks and vertical root fractures.
