Cracked tooth syndrome (CTS) is a common presentation in general practice. The diagnosis and management of teeth with CTS may be difficult due to the unknown extent of the crack. This article reviews the aetiology, diagnosis, management and prognosis of teeth with CTS. A thorough examination is required to effectively assess CTS. Intervention should aim to relieve symptoms and brace the remaining tooth structure effectively against further flexion. Restored teeth with CTS have a guarded prognosis due to the risk of further crack propagation, but the chances of survival at 5-years is acceptable (74.1-96.8%).
牙隐裂综合征（CTS）在全科医疗中较为常见。由于裂纹的未知程度，牙齿 CTS 的诊断和管理可能较为困难。本文综述了 CTS 牙的病因、诊断、处理和预后。彻底的检查对于有效评估 CTS 至关重要。干预的目的应是缓解症状，并有效支撑剩余的牙体结构，防止进一步弯曲。尽管存在进一步裂纹扩展的风险，但 CTS 牙经修复后的 5 年生存率是可接受的（74.1-96.8%）。
