<abstract>
<p>Enamel fractures are often caused by trauma. Can be seen as visible irregularities that require early intervention to prevent aesthetic issues. Dentin fractures are marked by increased sensitivity. Require tailored interventions such as desensitizing agents or restorations to address symptoms and maintain tooth integrity. Root fractures present with localized pain and swelling, posing challenges that require a management approach. Vertical fractures affecting both the crown and root need assessment using imaging techniques to guide treatment decisions. Cracked tooth syndrome involves fractures that may be managed holistically through measures or endodontic therapy in severe cases. This comprehensive review explores the world of fractures, examining their various types, symptoms and treatment strategies. It covers fractures in enamel, dentin, roots, and vertical ones that affect both the crown and root as cracked tooth syndrome. The study emphasizes the importance of diagnosis and effective treatment for the presentation of fractures. The study also highlights the integration of expertise with advanced tools like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for more precise dental diagnostics. Adhesive dentistry is recognized as an aspect of invasive restorations that aim to preserve natural tooth structure. This review underscores the significance of intervention and patient education while recognizing the interplay between traditional practices and modern modalities in managing dental fractures. Each type of fracture requires an approach addressing anything from cosmetic concerns like enamel fractures to more complex issues like root fractures. It is crucial to intervene relying on clinical examinations and advanced diagnostic tools for guidance.
