Extrusion of endodontically treated teeth
Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
|July 1, 1978
Summary
Vertical extrusion successfully retained 14 teeth with subgingival issues like fractures, perforations, or caries. This method offers a viable option for saving compromised teeth.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- Subcrestal tooth fractures, perforations, and caries below the gingival margin present significant restorative challenges.
- Saving compromised teeth is crucial for maintaining oral function and aesthetics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of vertical extrusion for retaining teeth with subgingival defects.
- To outline the indications, techniques, and potential complications associated with this dental procedure.
Main Methods:
- Vertical extrusion was employed to reposition the affected teeth vertically.
- The procedure aimed to move the subgingival tooth structure to anSupracrestal position for better access and restoration.
Main Results:
- Successfully retained 14 teeth that previously had subcrestal issues.
- Demonstrated the feasibility of vertical extrusion in managing complex dental cases.
Conclusions:
- Vertical extrusion is an effective technique for retaining teeth with subcrestal fractures, perforations, or caries.
- The procedure offers a valuable alternative to extraction in specific clinical scenarios.
