Etiology, Epidemiology, Patho Physiology, Diagnosis, Differential Diagnosis, Treatment and Prognosis of Cracked Teeth Syndrome
Abstract
There is a major problem with cracked tooth syndrome in terms of general dentistry. This condition's varied symptomatology, unclear presentation, and fluctuating symptoms often startle people and result in misdiagnosis. Even highly experienced clinicians may find it difficult to handle, necessitating a methodical and comprehensive approach.
