Abstract:
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.

Null and Alternative Hypotheses
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...
