Alveolar ridge development with forced eruption and distraction of retained natural dentition

Abstract:
Orthodontic forced eruption of teeth to correct vertical periodontal defects and aid in the development of alveolar ridge height is a well-documented concept in dentistry. These procedures enhance both hard (osseous) and soft (gingival) tissue growth before endosseous implant placement. Key factors that influence the effectiveness of this type of orthodontic movement are discussed. The effectiveness of forced eruption of a distracted segment of bone in the anterior maxilla is also evaluated and a new distraction device when implants are already present is introduced. These procedures require a proper initial diagnosis, a treatment plan, and a team, interdisciplinary approach to achieve optimal esthetic results and patient satisfaction.

Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
