Forced eruption of adjoining maxillary premolars using a removable orthodontic appliance: a case report

Abstract

Forced eruption can be performed in teeth with caries, fracture, resorption or perforation in the cervical third of the root or isolated teeth with one- or two-walled vertical periodontal defects. The purpose of this case report is to introduce an innovative orthodontic appliance which enables forced eruption. This appliance is easy to fabricate, cost-effective and very effective in forced eruption of non-restorable teeth.

Multidisciplinary Management of a Fractured Premolar: A Case Report with Followup

“…The objectives of forced eruption include preservation of biological width, exposure of sound tooth structure for placement of restorative margins, and maintenance of aesthetics [7]. …”

“…There are several treatment protocols for forced eruption involving removable [7] and fixed appliances depending upon the specific clinical situation. This case demonstrates a technique for orthodontic extrusion of upper premolar with two roots by a sectional fixed appliance and subsequent prosthodontic rehabilitation.…”

Restoration Made Possible with Forced Orthodontic Eruption of Endodontically Treated Unrestorable Tooth: A Case Report

“…2,3,4 Orthodontic extrusion or forced eruption aims to provide both sound tooth margin for ultimate restoration and to create periodontal environment (biologic width) that will be easy for patient to maintain. 5 Surgical procedure alone designed to achieve this objective often compromise esthetic appearance as it widens the embrasure and entails excessive removal of supporting bone of the adjacent tooth.…”
