It’s also the same thing that makes ice cubes crack when you drop them in water. Craze Lines vs. Cracked Teeth. Although craze lines are technically cracks in your teeth, it’s not what we mean when we describe a “cracked tooth.” Instead, a cracked tooth penetrates through the enamel into the dentin or even into the tooth nerve. By simply bleaching the stains in craze lines, the cracks will become much less evident. Whitening does not fill the cracks or improve structural integrity of the affected teeth, of course. If whitening is not effective for your craze line stains, consider tooth-colored composite resin bonding or porcelain veneers. Fracture (From an Insurance Viewpoint) Terminology and wording used in insurance claims can make a big difference in whether a procedure is or is not reimbursed. Limited to enamel. Tip of a dental explorer instrument cannot penetrate into a craze. I found a craze line or a crack at two of my upper first molars. Left and right both. The line was on the lingual side of my molars,from the bottom to the gum line.

Tip of a dental explorer instrument cannot penetrate into a craze. Craze Lines Vs. Cracked Teeth. The appearance of craze lines does not mean that your teeth are cracked. Craze lines are small cracks that do not crack all the way through your teeth. A cracked tooth can be very painful, sensitive, and is usually noticed in the back molars due to their heavy use in breaking down food.

So I had a molar removed, but the tooth next to it got a cavity. Looking at the x rays, I'd say it was a med sized filling. Dentist said it was bigger than average filling but not to close to the nerve.

When I run a prob across it(or my nail), i have to stop. It's not a smooth surface. It's not the filling because the filling is white, and you can pretty much tell where the filling is.

So when I run my nail across my tooth, I am stopped by maybe a crack? It stops when I run my probe(or nail across), and I can follow it down too, like a line. I am nervous about this. I have slight sensitivity to cold, but not hot. I usually chew soft foods on my left because of no molars. I use my right for the big chewing

No pressure when I bite down either I think it's a crack. There is a craze line right in the middle, and the (crack/line) is like 2 mm next it it

I'm trying to absorb info about this. Can you feel craze lines, like run your finger across but then you are stopped? What it feels like- it's like you put a dab of glue on your tooth, and it dries off. then when you run your finger off, your finger runs into the glue.

Crazing is the phenomenon that produces a network of fine cracks on the surface of a material, for example in a glaze layer. Crazing frequently precedes fracture in some glassythermoplasticpolymers. As it only takes place under tensile stress, the plane of the crazing corresponds to the stress direction. The effect is visibly distinguishable from other types of fine cracking because the crazing region has different refractive indices from surrounding material. Crazing occurs in regions of high hydrostatic tension, or in regions of very localized yielding, which leads to the formation of interpenetrating microvoids and small fibrils. If an applied tensile load is sufficient, these bridges elongate and break, causing the microvoids to grow and coalesce; as microvoids coalesce, cracks begin to form.

Polymers[edit]

Crazing occurs in polymers, because the material is held together by a combination of weaker Van der Waals forces and stronger covalent bonds. Sufficient local stress overcomes the Van der Waals force, allowing a narrow gap. Once the slack is taken out of the backbone chain, covalent bonds holding the chain together hinder further widening of the gap. The gaps in a craze are microscopic in size. Crazes can be seen because light reflects off the surfaces of the gaps. The gaps are bridged by fine filament called fibrils, which are molecules of the stretched backbone chain. The fibrils are only a few nanometers in diameter, and cannot be seen with a light microscope, but are visible with an electron microscope.^[1][2][3]

The thickness profile of a crazing is like a sewing needle: the very tip of the crazing may be as thin as several atoms, as the distance from the tip increase, it tends to thicken gradually with the rate of the increase diminishing with distance. Therefore, the growth of crazing has a critical distance from the tip. The opening angle of the crazing lies between 2° to 10°. The boundary between crazing and surrounding bulk polymer is very sharp, the microstructure of which can be scaled down to 20Å or less, which means it can only be observed by electron microscopy.^[4]

A craze is different from a crack in that it cannot be felt on the surface and it can continue to support a load. Furthermore, the process of craze growth prior to cracking absorbs fracture energy and effectively increases the fracture toughness of a polymer. The initial energy absorption per square meter in a craze region has been found to be up to several hundred times that of the uncrazed region, but quickly decreases and levels off. Crazes form at highly stressed regions associated with scratches, flaws, stress concentrations and molecular inhomogeneities. Crazes generally propagate perpendicular to the applied tension. Crazing occurs mostly in amorphous, brittle polymers like polystyrene (PS), acrylic (PMMA), and polycarbonate; it is typified by a whitening of the crazed region. The white colour is caused by light-scattering from the crazes.

Besides, the production of crazing is a reversible process, after applied compressive stress or elevated temperature (higher than glass transformation temperature), it may disappear and the materials will return to optically homogeneous state.

Shear banding is the narrow region with high level of shearing strain from local strain softening, it is also very common during the deformation of thermoplastic materials. One of the main differences between crazing and shear banding, is that crazing occurs with an increase in volume, which shear banding does not. This means that under compression, many of these brittle, amorphous polymers will shear band rather than craze, as there is a contraction of volume instead of an increase. In addition, when crazing occurs, one will typically not observe 'necking,' or concentration of force upon one spot in a material. Rather, crazing will occur homogeneously throughout the material.

Rubber toughening[edit]

Rubber particles are often used to toughen thermoplastic materials, after modified, the ability of absorbing energy will be increased significantly. For some brittle plastic materials, they can even go through brittle-ductile transformation. Previously, the rubber particles were considered as the main contributor to the increased energy absorption. It was proposed that rubber particles might gather around crack tips under tension and impede the growth of crack, or the contraction of rubber particles induced the decline of glass transformation temperature of the matrix. Nevertheless, experiments showed that the energy absorbed by rubber particles made up only 10% of the total energy, and the decrease of glass transformation temperature caused by rubber was only around 10 K, which was not enough for the matrix to yield at room temperature.

Schmitt and Bucknall developed the mechanism of rubber toughening according to the existence of stress whitening and shear yielding when the stress is lower than fracture strength.^[5] They proposed that the rubber particles served as the center for stress concentration, hence initiated the brittle-ductile transformation and yielding of the matrix material. To specify, yielding happens in the form of crazing or shear band, which can consume a large portion of deformation energy.

Environment effect[edit]

Crazing can take place in glassy polymers under environmental effects. It is troublesome because it requires a much lower stress state and sometimes it happens in a long delay, which means it's hard to detect and avoid. For example, the PMMA containers in daily use is quite resistive to humidity and temperature without any visible defects. But after they are machine-washed and then left in air for one or two days, they will shutter abruptly when wet with gin.^{[citation needed]} During the process, the stress applied is negligible, but crazing is still found in the containers.

There are many theories that tried to explain the environmental effects upon formation of crazing, among which surface energy reduction and plasticization are widely accepted and well developed.^[6] To eliminate the environmental crazing and cracking, many methods like surface coating, stress reduction are adopted. However, due to the complicity of the environmental effects, especially the effects in organic environment, it's hard to find a general solution and remove the effect completely.

Construction[edit]

Crazing is also seen on single ply roofing membranes, joint sealant, and on concrete when good concrete practices are not followed.

Ceramics[edit]

Crazing is a glaze defect of glazedpottery. Characterised as a spider web pattern of cracks penetrating the glaze, it is caused by tensile stresses greater than the glaze is able to withstand.^[7][8] In pottery a distinction is often made between crazing, as an accidental defect, and 'crackle', when the same phenomenon, often strongly accentuated, is produced deliberately. The Chinese in particular enjoyed the random effects of crackle and whereas in Ru ware it seems to have been a tolerated feature of most pieces, but not sought, in Guan ware a strong crackle was a desired effect.

Odontology[edit]

Crazing is also used as a term in odontology to describe fine cracks in the enamel of teeth.

Metaphor[edit]

The root sense of “crazy” in English, meaning “to shatter, crush, or break,” dates to the 1300s.^[9] The metaphorical senses familiar today derive from crazing in pottery: “crazy” meaning “diseased or sickly” dates to about 1570; “of unsound mind,” to about 1610.^[10]
