Crown Fracture
A crown fracture is a break in the crown of the tooth, that is, the visible part above the gum. It may affect only the enamel or extend to deeper layers and involve the tooth's nerve.
Common causes: Blows or trauma to the mouth, falls, sports accidents, or biting hard objects.
Common signs:
- A broken or chipped fragment of tooth
- Sensitivity to cold, heat, or chewing
- Pain if the fracture reaches deep areas
Which specialist treats it? A crown fracture is evaluated by the dentist, with support from the endodontist when the nerve is affected. Seeking care soon after a dental blow helps preserve the tooth whenever possible.
