In this article i am going to show an option for the ferrule gaining for badly destructed teeth.

The major problem with sub-gingival fracture is absence of adequate coronal ferrule and a compromised biological width. This usually complicates the application of the rubber dam during endodontic treatment. The primary objective of tooth extrusion or forced eruption is to provide both a sound tissue margin for ultimate restoration and to create a periodontal environment […]

The tooth was diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis needing root canal treatment. The pre-operative X-ray revealed a 3 rooted premolar, a special configuration that can be found in 5% of the cases as cited by Vertucci. Knowing that […]
