Description
Summary:Surgical extrusion should be considered as an alternative treatment in patients with structurally compromised teeth that retain coronal integrity and have favorable root anatomy. The procedure described is straightforward and can be performed quickly. A situation in which it was used to treat a maxillary premolar with substantial structural loss but well-preserved periodontal attachment is presented. The biologically oriented preparation technique is a conservative method of tooth restoration.
