Abstract

Endodontic-orthodontic treatment may become necessary to save teeth with advanced caries, traumatic destruction of clinical crown, lateral root perforation, external or internal rsorption near the alveolar crest or overzealous tooth preparation. With such treatment these teeth may not offer sound tooth structure on which to place a restoration. Lengthening the clinical crown by removing supporting bone to expose sound tooth structure or eliminate the existing periodontal defect is the solution usually recommended. Forced orthodontic eruption in conjunction with endodontic, periodontal & restorative therapy is an alternative.
