In Episode 17 of Before & Beyond, Dr. Soo Peng Ru delves into the complexities of treating a cracked tooth that required root canal therapy. He discusses the challenges and decisions involved in restoring this fragile tooth. Initially stabilised by a metal band, the tooth needed a protective restoration. Instead of a traditional crown, we opted for a more conservative zirconia onlay, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. He explores the innovative bonding techniques that allow this approach and the process of crack dissection to prevent further damage. Discover how advancements in restorative dentistry enable us to offer the best options for maintaining dental health. Tune in to learn more about the careful planning and execution involved in modern dental care.
