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.
