Outcome of Endodontically Treated Cracked Teeth
Abstract
Cracked tooth, one of the five categories of longitudinal tooth fractures, was defined as "an incomplete fracture initiated from the crown and extending subgingivally, usually directed mesiodistally" by the American Association of Endodontists. Patient's experiencing symptoms of a cracked tooth most commonly report pain with biting and with temperature changes. When a crack extension compromises the pulp and results in a pulpal and/or periapical pathosis, nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) is required to alleviate the patient's symptoms.
