title: Orthodontic extrusion and orthodontic extraction in preprosthetic treatment using implant therapy.
abstract: It has been well documented that orthodontic extrusion is a valuable adjunct to site preparation prior to implant placement. This treatment modality may also be utilized to salvage and restore an extensively damaged tooth for use as a natural abutment. By controlling the orthodontic phase, the hard and soft tissues can be manipulated into a position that permits aesthetic restoration. This article demonstrates the use of this procedure as an adjunct to site preparation and in conjunction with conventional restorative therapy.
