Cracks in Teeth: From Initiation and Progression to Fracture and Management

This webinar covers the initiation, progression, and fracture of cracks in teeth, grounded in biomechanical and clinical principles. It introduces crack types, fracture mechanics, and the material properties of enamel, dentin, and root dentin. Clinical implications, diagnostic challenges, and treatment options are discussed, including the concept of crack dissection.
