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.
