    This clinical case describes using a milled crown on a cracked tooth as the abutment for a removable partial denture. A 63-year-old male patient diagnosed with lipoma undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy presented with symptomatic crack tooth syndrome on tooth 36 and partial edentulism. Conservative treatment using a molar band to extracoronally splint the tooth was conducted to determine the prognosis of the crack line. A lower partial cobalt-chromium denture was constructed by incorporating the milled crown of tooth 36 as the abutment. After six months of follow-up, there were no crack tooth symptoms, and regular review was adopted to monitor the tooth. The construction of a milled crown of a cracked tooth presented good and promising clinical outcomes in preserving tooth vitality and preventing crack propagation in partially dentate dentition for the long term.
