Clinical Case Report
Clinical Case Report
This 22-year-old female patient, a light smoker, came to the office in January 2007 because of a fracture of the endodontically treated tooth 15. The fracture had been caused by severe decay. The periapical radiograph revealed the full extent of the loss of tooth substance. The amount of healthy dentine was not sufficient for a stump preparation for a conventional crown due to the extent of decay and due to the fact that the fracture line extended below the bone level. Therefore, the patient was offered the following treatment options: Extraction of tooth 15 and gap closure with a conventional tooth-supported bridge, Orthodontic extrusion of tooth 15 and subsequent cementation of a conventional single crown and Extraction of tooth 15 and replacement by a dental implant.
