Abstract:
The human dentition is subject to many and varied destructive forces which decrease the longevity of the individual tooth and dentition. This article is a review of the forces placed on the dentition during function and the potentially more damaging parafunction and the effect restorative dentistry plays on weakening tooth structure. This will be related to the cracked tooth syndrome, its diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
