Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, the incidence of cracked teeth is gradually increased and has become the third major factor of posterior teeth loss in adult. However, the cracked teeth have no self-conscious symptom in the early stage, and it is hard to find cracks in time. The clinical manifestations are various, which easily lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, and consequently involve the pulp and the extraction of the teeth in severe cases. Even if the crack is clearly diagnosed, due to the dentists could not accurately estimate the depth of the cracks, it caused many problems for dentists to develop treatment plans and estimate prognosis. This paper introduces the latest progress in diagnosis and treatment of the cracked teeth to help the dentists have a better understanding.

Key words: Cracked teeth, Diagnosis and treatment, Progress
