Abstract
Cracked tooth syndrome is defined as an incomplete fracture of the dentine in a vital posterior tooth that involves the dentine and occasionally extends into the pulp. CTS is the third leading cause of tooth loss in adult patients.
Mandibular molars are most commonly affected teeth.
The diagnosis of CTS is often problematic and has been known to challenge even the most experienced dental operators, accountable largely by the fact that the associated symptoms tend to be very variable.
Complications of CTS are involvement of the pulp and/or periodontal ligament, cusp fracture or loss of tooth vitality.
In order to diagnose CTS, dentist should elicit thorough dental history, do the clinical examination and use clinical tests such as visual dying, vitality tests, dental radiograph imaging and endodonthic microscope.
Early detection can detect a number of complications and ultimately can prevent tooth loss. The inability to visualize the crack during the clinical examination reduces the probability of making a correct diagnosis. In order to carry out the best possible treatment, it is necessary to take into account all the factors from the occurrence of the syndrome, the condition and the prognosis of the tooth.
Therapy varies according to the position and extent of the fracture.
Key words: Cracked tooth syndrome, CTS, cusp fracture
