Background. Identifying posterior teeth that are at heightened risk of developing cusp fracture is an inexact science. Risk indicators based on controlled observations are not available, and dentists' assessments vary.Methods. The authors conducted a case-control study of cusp fracture in restored posterior teeth. They evaluated 39 potential risk indicators identified in previous uncontrolled studies for an association with fracture in 200 patients with fractures and 252 patients without fractures. These risk indicators delineated patients' clinical characteristics and behaviors, as well as clinical characteristics of individual teeth. The authors used logistic regression to develop models identifying risk indicators associated with fracture, both between case and control subjects and between case and comparison teeth in case subjects.Results. Two risk indicators appeared in both models. The presence of a fracture line and an,increase in the proportion of the volume of the natural tooth crown occupied by the restoration substantially increased the odds of fracture (P
