MARTINS LEITE, Murillo et al. Diagnosis, planning, and restoring treatment of cracked syndrome tooth: case report - 7-year follow-up. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2019, vol.29, n.2, pp.152-157. ISSN 1019-4355.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.20453/reh.v29i2.3532.

This case report describes a cracked tooth syndrome and reports on its diagnosis, type of treatment and monitoring. A 26-year-old female patient complained of thermal and chewing sensitivity in the left side of her mandible. Clinical examination revealed two pigmented cracks on the buccal and lingual surfaces of tooth 36. The choice of a direct restorative treatment with composite resin led to the resolution of symptoms and complete relief of pain, which persisted in a 7-year monitoring period. The diagnosis and treatment of the case described here resulted in complete pain relief and maintenance of normal conditions seven years later.

Keywords : Cracked tooth syndrome; tooth fractures; dental materials.
