title: Prosthodontic management of vertical root extrusion.
abstract: The treatment of teeth with subalveolar injury or pathology by vertical orthodontic extrusion technique and fixed prosthodontic restoration has been examined. A prosthodontic technique using a permanently positioned post and core for orthodontic anchorage has been described. This single-dowel technique precludes hazardous repetitive intracanal instrumentation and facilitates esthetic management throughout treatment. Further clinical research is necessary to explore directional force vectors and the treatment of difficult extrusion cases due to occlusal interferences.
