Surgical Extrusion of upper lateral incisor with oblique fracture
Crown-root fractures extending subgingivally pose significant restorative challenges and often threaten tooth preservation. Surgical extrusion is a conservative technique that repositions the remaining tooth structure coronally, facilitating optimal restorative margins while maintaining periodontal health. This case report presents the management of an upper lateral incisor with an oblique fracture treated successfully by surgical extrusion. The procedure involved atraumatic repositioning of the tooth, careful stabilization, and subsequent restoration. Follow-up demonstrated favorable periodontal healing, functional stability, and satisfactory esthetics. This case underscores the clinical value of surgical extrusion as a predictable, tooth-preserving treatment option in selected cases of complicated crown-root fractures.)
