polski), also known as split tooth syndrome or incomplete fracture of posterior teeth, is a dental condition characterized by a crack, often microscopic, in the teeth. The etymology of the term is straightforward, with "cracked" referring to the damaged state of the tooth, and "syndrome" indicating a group of symptoms that consistently occur together.
Symptoms
The symptoms of cracked tooth syndrome can vary, but often include pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot and cold, and sometimes pain when releasing biting pressure. The pain may come and go, and it can be difficult to pinpoint which tooth is causing the discomfort.
Causes
Cracked tooth syndrome can be caused by a variety of factors, including bruxism (teeth grinding), large fillings that weaken the tooth, and trauma to the mouth. Chewing on hard foods, such as ice or hard candy, can also cause a tooth to crack.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of cracked tooth syndrome can be challenging, as the crack is often not visible on dental X-rays. Dentists may use a special instrument, called a tooth slooth, to isolate the tooth and identify the source of the pain.
Treatment
Treatment for cracked tooth syndrome depends on the severity of the crack and the location. Options may include bonding, a dental crown, root canal therapy, or in severe cases, extraction of the tooth.
