It's the canine tooth that just has only the root with a post core inside.

This question I would like to send to the dentists to discuss because I'm dentist also. I would rather ask : "what is the reliable and conservative (no surgery) way to diagnose positively a crack in the root of the tooth where a post is put ?"

the radiographic history should be helpfull. Compare all available and review the clients chart for work done on the tooth. see if the crown is coming off repeatedly. also look for any radiolucencies surrounding the tooth. test for mobility, pain on percussion and occlusion changes. there must be some sign or symptom if a crack is suspected. Especially important is the periodontal status. Evaluate bone levels, Periodontal ligament attachment, probing depths. Gingival health can also give clues. Examine the soft tissue for the presence of a fistula or exudate from the sulcus. If necessary refer to endodontist for further radiographic evaluations and possible removal of post to visualize the canal.

Dental x-ray or perhaps dental dye. Other indications are pain and swelling or perhaps infection at the site. That really sucks because toothpain hurts bad. I really feel for you.

bite a pencil on your suspected broken tooth, if there is a sudden pain it is cracked, also a radiograph of your tooth makes it clear,good luck
