Orthodontic extrusion and biologic width realignment procedures: methods for reclaiming nonrestorable teeth

R H Biggerstaff et al. J Am Dent Assoc. 1986 Mar.

Abstract

A multidisciplinary approach to the management of teeth traditionally classified as nonrestorable is presented. Three case histories are described in which such teeth are extruded orthodontically, the gingiva and biologic width are repositioned apically, and the teeth are restored.
