“…3 The prognosis is usually guarded and depends on the extent of the crack. 4 These cracks are mainly longitudinal and usually originate from the crown of the tooth.

Cracks and fractures in teeth are difficult to diagnose and treat, especially in the initial stages. The etiology of cracks is still obscure. With an increase in both geriatric population and tooth retention, the incidence of cracked teeth can also increase. There are many types of cracks from simple craze lines to vertical root fracture. An astute clinician should make crack detection a part of diagnostic screening. Proper diagnosis and treatment of cracked teeth is not possible without knowledge of the types of cracks along with associated signs and symptoms. This review presents a brief introduction to the various types of cracks and will aid the clinician in crack identification and management.
