  • To assess the short-term and one-year outcomes of this restorative approach.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-eight teeth diagnosed with cracks were treated.
  • Full coverage acrylic resin crowns were immediately placed.
  • Patient-reported symptoms were monitored post-treatment and at one-year follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-five out of twenty-eight treated teeth (89.3%) became asymptomatic following crown placement.
  • All asymptomatic teeth remained symptom-free at the one-year follow-up interval.

Conclusions:

  • Immediate restoration with full coverage acrylic resin crowns is an effective treatment for cracked teeth.
  • This method provides a high success rate in alleviating symptoms and maintaining asymptomatic status long-term.
