Cracked tooth syndrome including discomfort during mastication, unexplained cold sensitivity, and pain on release of pressure is incomplete fracture of the tooth. The aim of this study was to show the incidence and treatment modality of the cracked tooth in Korea. We have analyzed the incidence and treatment modality of the cracked tooth. 153 cases in our hospital were analyzed according to gender, location, and treatment modality for 2 years. Molar teeth appeared to be the most commonly involved teeth by cracked condition. Cracked tooth syndrome affected adult patients, in the age range of 30 to 60 years. Most cracked teeth were treated by invasive methods such as crown restoration, root canal treatment, and extraction. These clinical points show that diagnosis and treatment in early stage of cracked tooth syndrome are very important. The improvement in the understanding of cracked tooth syndrome must be preceded for effective treatment.
