Summary
Restoring fractured teeth requires understanding biological width. Forced eruption, using orthodontic principles, helps achieve successful tooth restoration when fractures extend to the bone crest.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Periodontology
Background:
- Restoring teeth fractured to the osseous crest presents challenges.
- Maintaining biological width is crucial for periodontal health and successful restoration.
Observation:
- Discusses the significance of biological width in restorative dentistry.
- Outlines orthodontic principles for forced eruption.
- Presents a case report detailing treatment aspects.
Findings:
- Forced eruption is a viable orthodontic technique for managing teeth fractured to the osseous crest.
- Understanding and respecting biological width is essential for predictable outcomes.
- The case report illustrates the practical application of these principles.
Implications:
- Provides a clinical guideline for managing complex tooth fractures.
- Highlights the interdisciplinary approach involving orthodontics and restorative dentistry.
- Offers insights into preserving periodontal health during tooth restoration.
