Abstract :
This case report describes an approach using
orthodontic forced eruption to facilitate prosthetic
restoration of a mid –crown fractured maxillary
permanent right lateral incisor. A 24-year-old male
patient presented at the due to pain and unesthetic
appareance and for management of a fractured maxillary
right lateral incisor tooth. Intraoral examination revealed
that the maxillary right lateral incisor had sustained a
mid crown fracture with pulp exposure and fractured
lingual cusp. We treated the tooth endodontically and
performed orthodontic root extrusion with a modified
Hawley appliance prior to prosthetic rehabilitation.
Approximately 3 mm of extrusion of the tooth was
obtained within 4 weeks. A fiber post was then inserted
into the root canal, and final restoration was completed
with an all-ceramic crown. Follow-up 8 months after
treatment revealed good periodontal health, esthetics and
normal function.
