Abstract:
When developing a diagnosis and prognosis for a compromised anterior tooth, dentists often deem these teeth to be nonrestorable or hopeless without exploring some of the less common options for saving the tooth. This article reviews literature concerning forced eruption as a treatment alternative, discusses treatment planning considerations, and presents two cases in which forced eruption was used. The first case involves a deeply fractured central incisor; the second case deals with a periodontally involved central incisor that was used to prepare its own extraction site for implant placement.
