Summary
Restoring biologic width around fractured teeth is crucial for periodontal health. A novel technique uses fiber-reinforced composite prostheses for forced eruption, offering aesthetic and stable results.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Periodontology
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Periodontal health is vital for dental restoration success and tooth longevity.
- Biologic width acts as a protective barrier against microbial invasion into periodontal tissues.
- Fractured teeth can compromise biologic width, necessitating restorative intervention.
Observation:
- This clinical case presents a technique to reestablish biologic width around a fractured central incisor.
- The method involves forced eruption without traditional orthodontic brackets.
- Fiber-reinforced composite prostheses are utilized for the forced eruption procedure.
Findings:
- The described technique effectively reestablishes the biologic width.
- Fiber-reinforced composite prostheses provide aesthetic maintenance during treatment.
- This approach offers simplicity, low cost, and stability.
Implications:
- This technique offers a viable solution for managing fractured teeth and restoring periodontal health.
- The use of fiber-reinforced composites presents an advantageous alternative for forced eruption procedures.
- Further research could explore long-term outcomes and broader applications of this method.
