When
a tooth is cracked, a filling will not seal the
crack. A crown has to be placed over the tooth to
hold it and the crack together. If a crown is not placed on the tooth, the
tooth will become sensitive to chewing pressure, or will eventually break.
It is important to crown a cracked tooth before it breaks, because
in some cases a broken tooth cannot be crowned
and must be extracted.
