Abstract

A case of incomplete fractures occurring bilaterally in intact maxillary first molars is described. The etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of incomplete tooth fractures are discussed. The clinical results in this case showed that early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further extension of the crack into the pulp and subsequent complete tooth fracture.
