Abstract

In many cases, endodontic treatment is unnecessarily performed while managing cracked tooth. However, there are many cases where it is unclear whether endodontic treatment should be performed or not during the treatment of cracked tooth. One good way is to attach the final prosthesis with a temporary cement and then have a lot of conversations with the patient about their condition. Through this process, the timing of final ce-mentation or endodontic treatment can be determined. Of course, even if we do so, endodontic treatment may be performed in some cases, so the management of cracked tooth is inevitably called endodontic treatment originated treatment.

Key Words: cracked tooth; endodontic treatment; endodontic treatment originated treatment
