title: Forced eruption and implant treatment in posterior maxilla: a clinical report.
abstract: Periodontal disease can result in bone defects that surround periodontally compromised teeth. After the loss of those teeth, remaining defects may compromise successful treatment with dental implants. Forced eruption, induced by applying light orthodontic forces in the coronal direction, provides enhancement of the implant recipient site by enabling the extraction of the periodontally hopeless teeth. This report describes the use of forced eruption to promote the formation of new bone and soft tissue in the resorbed maxillary posterior region, followed by placement of an implant-supported fixed partial denture.
