Intra Oral Camera-Additional Simple Tool in Diagnosis of Infracted and Fracture Tooth Roots

In everyday dental practice, teeth are devitalized for various reasons. Such teeth are more prone to fracture due to the loss of organic matter, compared with vital and intact teeth, even supplied with post and core upgrades. Fracture or infraction of the non- vital tooth with or without upgrades in today’s clinical practice is therefore relatively frequent and in mild increase. The paper presents use of the intra oral camera followed by the clinical examination in diagnosis of root fractures supplied with casted post and cores. Intra oral camera can show very well the shape, direction and size of the root fracture. Therefore, it is recommended to use in dental surgeries as an additional diagnostic tool for root fracture detection, because it is simple, fast and inexpensive.
