“…The remaining 4 (22%) teeth in the current study had pulp necrosis. When the pulp necrosis is caused by cracks, it may be termed "fracture necrosis" (Berman and Kuttler 2010), a condition that may adversely affect the tooth prognosis.…”

Background: This study presents a series of 18 cases of cracked non-endodontically treated teeth that were diagnosed following the placement of adjacent implant-supported rehabilitation. These findings could suggest a possible cause/ related events. Results: Most of the cases occurred in female patients (61%), over 50 years old (78%, with an average age of 59 years). Nine (50%) of the cracked teeth were molars, 7 (39%) were mandibular premolars, and 2 (11%) were incisor teeth. Most of the cracked teeth (61%) had an amalgam restoration, 50% had deep periodontal pockets, and 78% had vital pulps. In 78% of patients, multiple implants were placed (with an average of 3 implants per patient). The time from implant loading to the diagnosis of a crack was longer than 1 year in 78% of cases. Conclusions: The most common patient profile found in this series was a woman over 50 years old, having a cracked mandibular premolar tooth, which was diagnosed more than 1 year after reconstruction based on multiple adjacent implants. Additional clinical studies are warranted in order to shed light on this potential complication.

“…For analyzing factors related to longitudinal fractured teeth, specific criteria for defining and classifying cracks are needed. The AAE categorized longitudinal tooth fractures into 5 major classes: craze line, fractured cusp, cracked tooth, split tooth, and VRF (6,12). Craze line affect only the enamel, originate on the occlusal surface, are typically from occlusal forces or thermocycling, and are asymptomatic (6).…”

“…This condition has always presented a restorative dilemma for dentists because a crack has an unpredictable prognosis including extraction (6,7). The decision to treat and restore cracked teeth involves a discussion with patients about the prognosis, cost, and treatment time (2).…”

“…The term fracture necrosis defines a tooth with a longitudinal fracture that extends into the pulp and causes necrosis. These teeth have poor prognosis, and extraction might be considered as the primary treatment option (17).…”
