Abstract
When restoring severely compromised teeth, respecting the supracrestal tissue attachment and retaining the most coronal and radicular tooth structure is essential to achieving a sufficient ferrule. Forced orthodontic extrusion is a minimally invasive method that allows hard- and soft-tissue conservation. This article describes the treatment of a severely damaged maxillary central incisor that was managed by using a simplified orthodontic extrusion method with intracoronal elastic and metal ligatures applied through a palatal bar and followed by the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT). This orthodontic procedure reduces a forward clockwise advance during vertical extrusion, thus maintaining the buccal bone plate.
