Cracked teeth are the most difficult to diagnose and missed sometimes by even experts and the most diligent doctors. Usually the pain is intense when you bite on anything with that particular tooth. The cbct report says fracture of distal root. Usually such teeth are best extracted. If your dentist has said there is a fracture that's extended to the root, it's best to extract it. Kindly take 1 or more clinical opinions if in doubt
