Case Reports

Forced eruption in the treatment of transverse root fractures



GB Garrett

A relatively new method for treating transverse root fractures near the gingival crevice is reviewed. Two cases are described in which the fractured teeth are orthodontically erupted to facilitate restoration. A periodontal pocket was reduced in the first case, and the technique was modified to accommodate a patient wearing a partial denture in the second case. The technique appears to be a favorable alternative to extraction or periodontal surgery.
