SDF Clinical Evaluation Form

A structured template for threshold-based evaluation.

Case Identifier:

Tooth number / Region:


1. Structure Assessment

  • Remaining wall thickness:
  • Marginal ridge integrity:
  • Crack presence and orientation:
  • Dentin thickness:
  • Root morphology:
  • Periodontal support:
  • Structural reserve rating (Low / Moderate / High):

2. Force Assessment

  • Occlusal load magnitude:
  • Lateral contact presence:
  • Parafunction:
  • Load distribution pattern:
  • Force risk rating (Low / Moderate / High):

3. Time Projection

  • Biological progression rate:
  • Fatigue exposure estimate:
  • Compliance modifiers:
  • Time risk rating (Low / Moderate / High):

4. Long-Term Stability Projection

Under Preservation

  • Fracture probability:
  • Expected longevity:
  • Re-intervention risk:

Under Escalation

  • Structural reduction required:
  • Projected durability:
  • Replacement pathway impact:

5. Threshold Position

Does projected force across projected time exceed structural tolerance under preservation?

  • ☐ No — Preservation indicated
  • ☐ Approaching — Monitor closely
  • ☐ Yes — Escalation indicated

Now we apply it.
