"The patient
reported with pain when chewing on the upper first molar. When testing
with the tooth slooth™, the mesial buccal cusp responded positively
and a diagnosis of cracked tooth syndrome was made. After the amalgam
was removed, a crack was also seen on the pulpal floor below the
disto-buccal. Therefore, both buccal cusps were overlayed. Note
the one millimetre margin on the buccal and that the distal contact
was not broken in the preparation stage photograph. The mesial box
and deep pulpal floor provide the resistance form needed for this
case.
The final photograph
shows a three month postoperative view of the Cristobal + onlay
constructed by Aurum Ceramic/Classic. The amalgam in the second
molar was replaced with direct resin."
