Multidisciplinary Challenge In A Patient With A Vertical Fracture

Abstract

Introduction: Rapid dental orthodontic extrusion may be used as an alternative to avoid the extraction of
fractured teeth that might not be suitable for restauration because od trauma, extensive cavities, periodontal
problems (two or three walls), teeth with internal resorption, or with endodontical perforations. Objective: of
this clinical case is to present to all dentists a simple solution of integral treatment of a patient who suffered
trauma to his face causing a vertical fracture at the level of the middle third root of the right upper central incisor.
Methods: used in this case was through orthodontic extrusion, endodontic retreatment and periodontal approach,
so as to facilitate future rehabilitation with a full crown. The result of this procedure was achieved with great
success because we conclude that it was treated in a multidisciplinary way, where each specialty intervenes at a
precise moment. Conclusions: Rapid extrusion is a procedure in which a tooth that shows a radicular fracture
close to it´s margin may be treated without dental crown lengthening that would risk bone level.
