Abstract

Background:  The management of patients with traumatic injuries to their dentition is an integral part of general dental practice. Anterior teeth with fractures that extend subgingivally require a complex treatment plan that address biologic, esthetical and functional factors, such as mastication and speech. Treatment of crown fractures often require a multi-disciplinary approach. Orthodontic forced eruption may be a suitable approach without risking the esthetical appearance in tooth fracture below the gingival attachment or alveolar bone crest. Extrusion of such teeth allows elevating the fracture line above the epithelial attachment so the proper finishing margins can be prepared. Restoration after orthodontic eruption may present a more conservative treatment choice in young patients compared with the prosthetic restoration after extraction. Treatment of loss of crown structure due to fracture of tooth often requires a multidisciplinary approach. A combination of endodontic, periodontal, orthodontic and restorative procedures may be required.
