Published: March 2000

The restoration of coronally fractured anterior teeth without surgical invasion is contingent upon several factors. Specifically, the biologic width of the tooth should not be violated by the apical extent of the fracture, and the residual root structure must possess an adequate ferrule. In patients with these conditions, it is possible to prosthetically restore the tooth following orthodontic extrusion. This article describes a technique in which orthodontic extrusion is utilized to provide adequate tooth structure for the prosthetic restoration of patients who presented with fractured anterior teeth.
