SP-19 Surgical Extrusion, Reliable Technique for Saving Compromised Teeth. a 10-year Retrospective Assessment of Outcome Predictors
CE Hours: 0.75
Description: Although different techniques have been suggested for clinical crown lengthening, all of them have some limitations in terms of esthetics. In esthetic zones, crown lengthening maneuvers require a complex diagnostic process; special attention should be taken, or the surgical technique could often result in gingival 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 esthetic zone. During the lecture, a simplified protocol for surgical extrusion will be presented, as well as long-term follow-up clinical cases (more than 10 years follow-up period). Advantages, disadvantages, and outcome predictors related to the procedure will be analyzed.
Learning Objectives:
- List the inclusion and exclusion clinical criteria for choosing cases to apply the surgical extrusion technique.
- Describe the Advantages, disadvantages, and outcome predictors related to the procedure.
- Describe and perform the simplified surgical extrusion technique presented during the lecture.
