Orthodontic Extrusion of Subgingivally Fractured Lateral Incisor and Canine Using Gold Post: A Case Report: 1 Year Follow-Up

The case report describes a multidisciplinary approach using orthodontic forced eruption to facilitate prosthetic restoration of a maxillary permanent lateral incisor and canine with poor restorability for a young patient. Restoration after orthodontic eruption presents a more conservative treatment choice in young patients compared with prosthetic restoration after extraction. On examination, the patient had root stumps in the region of 22 and 23. We decided to treat the patient by orthodontic extrusion followed by endodontic post and core. The case was treated with the help of 19 gauge wire and gold posts.
