T/F Q: A 43 year old female patient complains of pain when biting on tooth #30. The tooth has an existing large MOD amalgam (placed 10 years ago) that appears to be intact. There is no reported pain to hot or cold and cold testing elicits no response from the tooth. The tooth is very painful to biting pressure and percussion. Periodontal probing depths are 3mms or less. Slight bleeding is observed during probing. Radiographically, the tooth and periodontium appear to be within normal limits, though the amalgam restoration appears deep. Cracked tooth syndrome is the likely diagnosis for this tooth.
