The dental product called “FracFinder” that is used to detect fractures in teeth. FracFinder is a type of dental instrument that is used to locate and diagnose tooth fractures, which can be difficult to identify with traditional dental instruments and X-rays.
The FracFinder instrument uses a combination of tactile and visual methods to detect fractures in teeth. It has a sharp tip that is used to gently probe the tooth surface, and a fiber optic light source that illuminates the inside of the tooth. The dentist can use this instrument to identify cracks and fractures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye or traditional dental instruments.
Identifying fractures in teeth is important because they can weaken the tooth structure and lead to further damage or even tooth loss if left untreated. FracFinder allows dentists to identify and treat fractures earlier, which can help preserve the tooth and prevent more extensive dental work.
Overall, FracFinder is a useful tool for dental professionals in identifying and treating tooth fractures.
“Cracked tooth is a syndrome familiar to most dental professionals. The development of cracks is a common complication in the restored posterior tooth. Usually, the crack originates in the deepest part of the of the occlusal box and runs diagonally out under a cusp. The signs and symptoms of a cracked tooth include sensitivity to temperature changes, to sugar, or tenderness on biting. Generally, a cracked tooth cannot be detected clinicallyor radiographically. Therefore, it can be difficult to diagnose or to localize the tooth or cusp. Dentists have used various implements for locating a cracked cusp. These, among other things, include cotton rolls, wood sticks, and metal instruments. All of these implements have limitations. Fracfinder is an indispensable instrument for the practice of modern dentistry. It is an instrument that simplifies locating cracks in the tooth. Locating cracks with Fracfinder is quick and precise. To locate the crack, place the small indentation of the Fracfinder on the suspected cusp. Ask the patient to apply pressure while gently biting on the suspected cusp(s). Fracfinder provides force when the patient bites down on the instrument. Cracked cusp is then located easily, rapidly and precisely.”
