Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Anterior tooth compromise often leads to a nonrestorable diagnosis.
  • Less common treatment options are frequently overlooked.

Observation:

  • This article reviews forced eruption literature.
  • Two clinical cases utilizing forced eruption are presented.

Findings:

  • Forced eruption is a viable alternative for compromised anterior teeth.
  • Case 1: Deeply fractured central incisor treated with forced eruption.
  • Case 2: Periodontally involved central incisor used for implant site preparation via forced eruption.

Implications:

  • Forced eruption expands the restorative and surgical options for anterior teeth.
  • This approach can improve treatment outcomes and preserve natural dentition or facilitate implant placement.
