The composite resin restoration with cuspal coverage is less invasive treatment option and have many advantages for the management of CTS. This case report describes the treatment of cracked tooth with composite resin by cuspal coverage and 1-year follow up of maxillary second molar. The composite resin restoration with cuspal coverage was place over cracked tooth. During the direct restorative process, the use of clear occlusal index made filling very easy and fast. Also, it could be used immediately for the management of CTS. In conclusion, in cracked tooth without pulpitis, cusps covering with composite resin restoration can be used in the early stage, and may delay root canal treatment and restoration of crown.
