Sensitive & Cracked Tooth Treatment: Traditional vs. Biomimetic
Traditional Approach
Timeline: Several Months
Key Issues:
Pain to cold, sweets, and biting often continues during treatment
Crack remains in tooth, leaving nerve exposed to sensitivity
Temporary metal band placed around tooth for weeks/months
Poor hygiene access around metal band can cause further decay
High risk of needing root canal treatment due to leaking banded temporary (IRM) filling
Metal posts & fillings cause harmful tooth flexing (10x more than natural teeth) leading to further cracks
Relies on desensitizers (like Gluma) to temporarily mask pain
Requires removal of healthy tooth structure for crown placement
Extended treatment timeline prolongs discomfort
Amalgam > band > root canal > post, core, crown > implant
Biomimetic Approach
Timeline: 1-7 days
Advanced Benefits:
Immediate protection from cold, sweet, and biting sensitivity
Precise decay removal and strategic crack removal stops pain at the source
Tooth restored using biomechanically-matched materials for natural function
Natural tooth shape and connection prevent future pain
No desensitizers needed - permanent comfort
Easy to clean and maintain
Achieves natural tooth strength (51.5 MPa)
