Tooth sleuth ...to Charlot

[Guest guest]

Hi Charlot

I hope you are doing ok

Do you remember you asked me about tooth sleuth...we didnt know anything bout it..Look what I found...may be it is what we were looking for...

The patient reports she gets an occasional sharp pain of short duration when she bites on this tooth. It is not sensitive to hot or cold. How might you confirm your provisional diagnosis of cracked tooth syndrome?

• By using a bite stick or "tooth sleuth" on each cusp in turn, until you find the cusp that elicits the pain. • The disto-buccal cusp is the most likely candidate. SincerelyLyudmylaHuhleyhuhley2006@...
