Cracked Cusps
Treatment should consist of protecting the affected cusp from occlusal forces, both to prevent pain while chewing and to prevent the propagation of the crack into a full fracture
Treatment Options
- Full coverage crown
- Onlay
- bonded composite restorations have been proposed

If the fracture plane extends apically into the root, the tooth may potentially become non-restorable
