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.
