Orthodontic Extrusion with crown restoration in the management of anterior teeth crown-root fracture: A case report

Abstract

Crown-root fracture is a rare type of dental traumatic injury. Management of traumatized teeth sometimes requires a multidisciplinary approach to obtain better esthetic results as well as for the conservation of tooth structure. This article describes the management of a case of oblique crown root fracture of anterior teeth. After the removal of the coronal fragment, the roots were filled with calcium hydroxide. Orthodontic extrusion was initiated for 4 months, and 3 mm extrusion was achieved. The ceramic crown was cemented on anterior fracture teeth. The periodontal condition appeared to be healthy and good esthetic was maintained during the follow-up appointment.
