Forceful Orthodontic Extrusion of Maxillary Canine in an Adult Patient: A Case Report

Abstract: Loss of tooth structure in the esthetic region is a big challenge for restorative dentist as it not only involves the establishment of tooth structure but also complies microesthetics. If the tooth structure is lost near the gingival margin, then the periodontal aspect cannot be overlooked. Surgical crown lengthening and orthodontic extrusion of the remaining tooth structure are two possible treatment modalities for such cases. Which one is best suited depends on the indications for each procedure. This study … Show more

“…Compared with other surgical procedures, slow or rapid orthodontic extrusion is a conservative approach that minimizes the need for reduction of adjacent teeth for conventional fixed bridge and prevents the bone needed for periodontal support. 7 , 20 Surgical crown lengthening loosens the crestal bone of the adjacent tooth as well. 20 , 21 Thus, in the third case, we started treatment by orthodontic extrusion and then extraction of the extruded teeth in which we maintained the level of the bone of the adjacent tooth.…”
