Cracked Teeth 1 article

Cracked Teeth covers incomplete fractures that can produce biting or release pain, pulpal symptoms and localised periodontal findings while remaining difficult to identify clinically. Transillumination, magnification, bite testing and careful assessment of restorability help establish how far a crack may extend and whether cuspal coverage, endodontic treatment or extraction should be considered. Prognosis depends heavily on crack location and depth. Structural cracks with potential biological and restorative consequences are the concern here, rather than harmless craze lines or routine caries-related fractures.
