VERTICAL TOOTH FRACTURE
One of my interesting extractions. The tooth didn't split with tooth sleuth. X-ray showed mild radiolucency. Mesial probing was 5mm, distal was 8mm. Patient had symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. Extraction revealed a vertical through and through fracture.
The name for the website is inspired from what one of my patients told me. He said, "You are a nerd, doc! You just absorb all dental information like a sponge!"
Dentistry is my passion and I make great dentistry a habit. The aim is to share my chairside experiences and get some of my senior docs and peers to share their's, so we can make great dentistry a norm, across the board.
This website is long due. I will try to keep this as casual as I can, without encroaching professional ethics and courtsey.
