Main restoration that is used in these cases  is the Composite. Slight enameloplasty can also remove the sharp bend of the Chipped Tooth.

In other case where the Chipped Tooth is causing symptoms like sensitivity, pain on biting etc, proper evaluation is must. X-ray can properly

determine the extent up to which the damage has occurred. After determining the damage most chances of having its spread to the pulpal tissue as the

sensitivity to both cold and hot are present. In this case Root Canal Treatment of the Chipped Tooth is very necessary and after that for the

management of aesthetics, crowns, bridges can be given.

Having the Chipped Tooth mainly occurs during any sport activities. So it is better to protect the teeth while playing with the help of Mouthguard.
