  • Title: Orthodontic extrusion of subgingivally fractured incisor before restoration. A case report: 3-years follow-up.
    Author: Koyuturk AE, Malkoc S.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2005 Jun; 21(3):174-8. PubMed ID: 15876331.
    Abstract:
    Orthodontic forced eruption may be a suitable approach without risking the esthetic appearance in tooth fracture below the gingival attachment or alveolar bone crest. Extrusion of such teeth allows elevating the fracture line above the epithelial attachment and so the proper finishing margins can be prepared. Restoration after orthodontic eruption may present a more conservative treatment choice in young patients compared with the prosthetic restoration after extraction. This case describes a multidisciplinary approach using the orthodontic forced eruption facilitating the composite restoration of a fractured upper permanent central incisor.
