    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Dental Diagnostics
    • Endodontics

    Background:

    • Cracked teeth are a common dental problem.
    • Maxillary molars are particularly susceptible to cracking.
    • Early diagnosis of cracks is essential for successful treatment.

    Observation:

    • A case of undiagnosed, cracked, bilateral, maxillary molars is presented.
    • Both affected teeth were non-carious and unrestored.
    • Initial cracks progressed to complete vertical fractures due to delayed diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Failure to diagnose subtle tooth cracks can lead to severe complications.
    • Vertical root fractures are a common sequela of untreated cracked teeth.
    • The diagnostic challenges associated with cracked teeth are significant.
