Forced Orthodontic Eruption of Fractured Teeth before Implant Placement: Case Report


Forced Orthodontic Eruption of Fractured Teeth before Implant Placement: Case Report FULL TEXT • Leandro Chambrone, DDS • • Luiz A. Chambrone, PhD, MSD, DDS • A b s t r a c t The treatment of esthetic areas with single-tooth implants represents a new challenge for the clinician. Placement of a single-unit implant is indicated for fractured or periodontally compromised teeth. In 1993, a modification of the forced eruption technique, called “orthodontic extrusive remodelling,” was proposed as a way to augment both soft- and hard-tissue profiles at potential implant sites. This case report describes augmentation of the coronal soft and hard tissues around a fractured tooth, which was achieved by forced orthodontic extrusion before implant placement. This technique may be used to improve primary anchorage of a dental implant, fill the alveolar socket with bone, preserve interdental bone height and increase the amount of attached gingiva. MeSH Key Words: alveolar bone loss; dental implantation, endosseous/methods; tooth movement/methods Reply to this article \| View replies [0]
