Endodontic-orthodontic management of fractured anterior teeth. 1978

P Delivanis, and H Delivanis, and M M Kuftinec

A case history is presented of a 10-year-old patient, who accidentally injured her maxillary central incisor. The fracture of the crown extended 2 mm below the crest of the alveolar bone. After a pulpotomy was done as a temporary measure, orthodontic appliances were placed by bonding brackets on the maxillary anterior teeth and fitting a sectional arch wire to extrude the fractured tooth. After successful extrusion, the fracture line was brought above the level of alveolar bone where successful restoration of the tooth by the acid-etch method could be accomplished.
