SP-17 Surgical Extrusion, Reliable Technique for Saving Compromised Teeth. Literature Review and Case Series Presentation
CE Hours: 0.75
Description: Although different techniques have been suggested for clinical crown lengthening, all of them have some limitations in terms of aesthetics. In aesthetic zones, crown lengthening maneuvers require a complex diagnostic process, special attention should be taken, or the surgical technique could often result in gingival line asymmetry. The basic goal of the surgical extrusion treatment is to coronally reposition the remnant tooth structure, which will guarantee a reliable sound and healthy supragingival tooth support, to offer a good restorative outcome. This technique can be used successfully to treat severely damaged teeth, especially in the anterior aesthetic zone. During the lecture, a simplified protocol for surgical extrusion will be presented, as well as long-term follow-up clinical cases (more than 9 years follow-up period). The advantages and disadvantages of this procedure will be analyzed.
Learning Objectives
- Based on clinical evidence to discuss risks and benefits of surgical extrusion techniques
- Describe and perform the simplified surgical extrusion technique presented during the lecture
- List inclusion and exclusion clinical criteria for choosing cases to apply the surgical extrusion technique
