Management of a supra-erupted premolar: a case report.
Supra-erupted teeth often lead to occlusal instability that can result in a poor appearance and make subsequent restoration problematical.

The use of a direct composite platform to intrude an upper premolar tooth using the Dahl concept is illustrated.
