Introduction: The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the 1-year pulp survival of cracked teeth with reversible pulpitis managed with initial stabilization using orthodontic bands, followed by coronal coverage restorations.
Methods: One-hundred-and-twenty-five patients with a cracked tooth with reversible pulpitis each were recruited. Preoperative patient and tooth data were collected.

The aim of this study was to determine short-term outcomes of these teeth following orthodontic band placement. The time taken for definitive pulp diagnoses after orthodontic band placement and associated prognostic factors was also analyzed.
