Orthodontic extrusion and biologic width realignment procedures: methods for reclaiming nonrestorable teeth.

R H Biggerstaff, J H Sinks, J L Carazola

    Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
    |March 1, 1986

    Summary

    This study presents a multidisciplinary approach for managing nonrestorable teeth. By using orthodontic extrusion, gingival repositioning, and restoration, previously unsalvageable teeth can be successfully treated.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Periodontics

    Background:

    • Traditionally, teeth with extensive damage or decay were often deemed nonrestorable.
    • Limited treatment options existed for teeth with compromised periodontal support or infrabony defects.

    Observation:

    • A multidisciplinary approach involving orthodontic extrusion was utilized.
    • Gingival repositioning and biologic width management were key components of the technique.

    Findings:

    • Three case histories demonstrate the successful application of this combined treatment protocol.
    • Orthodontic extrusion facilitated the management of infrabony defects and allowed for adequate clinical crown lengthening.

    Implications:

    • This approach offers a viable alternative to extraction for specific cases of nonrestorable teeth.
