Cracks and fractures in teeth are relatively common problems in general and specialist dental practices. The CTS presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the dentist. The possibility of CTS must always be considered when a patient complains of pain or discomfort on chewing or biting. In spite of CTS being a diagnostic challenge, having knowledge and awareness of CTS should enable the dental practitioner to detect the same, thereby preventing further crack propagation and complications associated with crack tooth.
