My intraoral camera shows fractures. Is this better than using the Tooth Slooth?
The intraoral camera and transillumination are two good methods of diagnosing a fractured tooth. However, many craze and crack lines may show up using these methods. The dentist must still determine which of these craze or crack lines may be causing pain. Tooth Slooth enables the dentist to isolate and test these suspect areas to determine which cusp is actually fractured. In addition, the intraoral camera and transillumination may not be effective when an amalgam is present.
