Cracked tooth syndrome (CTS) involves incomplete tooth fractures causing chewing pain, often difficult to diagnose due to varied symptoms. Early detection and appropriate management, from monitoring to endodontic treatment, are key for successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Diagnostics

Background:

  • Cracked tooth syndrome (CTS) is characterized by incomplete fractures in vital posterior teeth, sometimes reaching the pulp.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to low clinician awareness and diverse clinical presentations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of cracked tooth syndrome (CTS).

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment modalities for CTS.
  • Analysis of diagnostic tests and management strategies, including a decision flowchart.

Main Results:

  • Common symptoms include pain during chewing that subsides upon pressure release, with patients often unable to pinpoint the affected tooth.

  • Successful diagnosis relies on recognizing CTS and employing specific diagnostic tests.
  • Management varies from monitoring and occlusal adjustments to cast restorations and endodontic therapy, depending on symptom severity and lesion extent.

    • Conclusions:

    • A high index of suspicion and appropriate diagnostic tools are crucial for identifying cracked tooth syndrome.
    • Tailored management strategies, guided by a decision flowchart, improve treatment outcomes for CTS patients.
