English term or phrase: Chipped teeth
Part of a bulleted list titled "teeth injuries".

Se me ocurren varias posibilidades para traducir "chipped", pero querría saber si hay un adjetivo estándar que se use en Odontología.

Gracias

Gracias Edling y a todos.

"Desportillados" es la palabra utilizada en la traducción Eng-Sp que estoy editando, así que agrego "astillados" entre comillas.
