Crack Tooth Syndrome Market Size was valued at USD 1.30 Billion in 2023. The Global Crack Tooth Syndrome industry is projected to grow from USD 1.40 Billion in 2024 to USD 2.30 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.16% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

Cracked tooth syndrome (CTS) also called as cracked cusp syndrome, split tooth syndrome or incomplete fracture of posterior teeth is a dental condition characterised by a fractured but unbroken tooth. The American Association of Endodontists (AAE) define cracked tooth as a crack extending from the occlusal surface of the tooth apically without separation of the two segments. The symptoms of CTS inlcude sharp pain when biting with the affected tooth, excruciating rebound pain when biting force is increased or released, and sensitivity to temperature. Irreversible pulpitis, pulpal necrosis and periapical periodontitis may develop if the crack propagates into the pulp.

Some of the the demographic drivers of the CTS market include increasing geriatric population, growing awareness, and rise in risk factors generating demand such as consumption of fat and sugar rich foods and others. According to estimates of American Dental Association, approximate 52.3% of adults visited the dentist every six months, and 15.4% per year, in 2015. Thus, a large market for CTS is easily comprehended. The growing risk factors and cause of CTS such as previous dental restorative procedures, occlusal factors, anatomical considerations, trauma, and others is driving a large demand. About 37.9 % people had atleast one cracked tooth in their lifetime, with the first  permanent  molars being the most  common  affected.

Technical drivers of the market include development of stronger, biocompatible and bio absorbable materials with better osteo-integration properties, development of silicon dental adhesives, CAD/CAM technology and others. Aesthetically better materials resembling natural teeth has generated larger demand for cosmetic dentistry.

High cost of treatment dental implants, coupled with poor reimbursements reflected by high out-of-pocket costs is hampering the market. According to the FDI World Dental Federation, estimates out-of-pocket costs represent approximate 55 % of total dental care spending, with comparative figures for general health care amounting to just 20 %. CTS have very variable symptoms and is notoriously difficult to diagnose.

Endodontic treatment of cracked teeth have a relatively high failure rate of 14.5 % over a two years period, which is another restraint of the Crack Tooth Syndrome Market.
