There is a great challenge in the treatment of deeply fractured and un-restorable teeth
among dentists. Orthodontic force eruption is a method of treatment for these teeth to
preserve natural root system and periodontal structures. This technical report is a new
modification of this procedure presented in an 11- year old boy with deeply fractured
left second mandibular incisor. The fractured teeth were treated with root canal therapy
and a file #80 was modified to become a hook cemented into the fractured tooth.
Anterior teeth were splinted and used as anchorage to help the root extrusion. 1-year
follow up of the tooth showed the convenience of the treatment.
This simple and low-cost method can be an acceptable alternative to the current
high cost techniques, achieving the same results
