Abstract:
In the case of crown-root fracture due to traumatic injury in anterior tooth and the fracture margin is located subgingivally, surgical extrusion can be considered as one of the treatment choices. Surgical extrusion is a one-step and less time-consuming procedure that allows dentist to examine the root fractured surface, but there are some risk factors such as tooth fracture or damage to cementum layer during extraction. The following case reports present surgical extrusion as a treatment option of crown-root fracture in maxillary anterior tooth.
