SP-30 Surgical Extrusion, a Reliable Technique for Saving Compromised Anterior Teeth
CE Hours: .75 CE hour
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, because when choosing surgical crown lengthening technique, care should be taken or it will could often result in gingival line asymmetry. The basic goal for surgical extrusion technique is to place the remanent tooth structure in an appropriate position, which will guarantee a reliable reestablishment of the remanent healthy tooth structure for a good restorative outcome, maintaining at the same time the biologic width. Thus, this technique can be used successfully to treat a 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. Advantages and disadvantages on this procedure will be analyzed.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Discuss risks and benefits of surgical extrusion techniques.
- Describe and perform the simplified surgical extrusion technique presented during the lecture.
- List inclusion clinical criteria for choosing cases to apply the simplified surgical extrusion technique.
